Hi all
I'm fitting a new bathroom, and am replacing all the plumbing from the point of entry to the bathroom to sink, bath and toilet (one floor flat).
I read somewhere that it's now part of building regs that I have to install an isolation valve on every separate unit? ie one on every supply pipe.
Is that true, or can i just fit one isolation valve on each of the feed pipes coming into the bathroom?
What happens if I don't comply with this building regs rule ie. dont fit the extra isolation valves?
Many thanks
MattDo i have to fit isolation valves when fitting a new bathroom?
I think its now generally accepted to be good practice to install isolating valves to each appliance. It certainly makes it easier for testing out each individual appliance as you are in the room when the water is turned on, so if there is a leak you can quickly shut it off. I t is also good from the future maintenance point of view.
As for the building regs part, I think this only applies if you come to sell your property and the new owner/or surveyor picks up that the valves aren't fitted, the building control can make you go back and fit them and bring the property upto current standards.Do i have to fit isolation valves when fitting a new bathroom?
THE CODE IS NOT THE SAME IN ALL STATES BUT IN MOST YES THERE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SHUT OFF VALVES ON EACH FIXTURE. THESE USUALLY GO OUTSIDE THE WALL UNDER THE SINK AND BEHIND THE TOILET. THE TUB/SHOWER USUALLY DOESN'T GET THESE AND ARE NOT REQUIRED UNLESS IT IS FOR MULTI UNIT BUILDINGS AND COME BUILT INTO THE FAUCET FROM THE FACTORY. THESE ARE USUALLY CHROME OR BRASS AND MOST COMMON ARE COMPRESSION TYPE. EVEN IF THERE WERE NOT REQUIRED THEY ARE A GOOD IDEA IN ORDER TO SHUT OFF THE WATER TO ONE FIXTURE INSTEAD OF THE ENTIRE HOUSE IF THERE IS EVER A PROBLEM. ALSO YOU WONT HAVE TO GO LOOKING FOR A VALVE TO CLOSE CAUSE IT IS RIGHT AT THE FIXTURE
It would depend upon your local plumbing code. But assuming that you have a shower/Bath, a sink and toilet, I would strongly recommend that you install a shutoff valve for the toilet water supply, both hot and cold sides for the sink faucet, and if possible, for the shower/Bath supply(Upstream of the main valve). Down the road, it will make O-Ring replacement much simpler.
Good Luck!

What do cases of social isolation teach us about the importance of social experience to human beings?
In the case of little Anna, it showed that social interaction may be the main ingredient of personality.What do cases of social isolation teach us about the importance of social experience to human beings?
The importance of social experience is evident in the lack of human development characteristic of socially isolated children. Specifically, if early childhood is devoid of social experience, the child may fail to develop normal language skills leading to limitations in other social learning. Genie, the young girl who was shut away by her father, is a prime example of what can happen to a human child who is deprived of social contact. Although Genie received intensive training after she was found, she never fully recovered from the effects of the lack of early social experiences.What do cases of social isolation teach us about the importance of social experience to human beings?
it shows that we can't be full functioning human beings without interactions, if we don't learn the language, we won't be able to learn math, science, or any other important education. If we can' tspeak we can't make friends, we can't ask for the kind of food we want. Social experience is how we interact so without it we can't become full functioning members of society

What job will pay decent that will allow me some isolation?
I'm smart, and can learn about anything. I mostly hate the world though. I don't like doing things around people. I don't like people looking at me. And I hate people seriously giving me **** about what I look like. I don't mind being made fun of, I don't mind people criticizing my looks. But I hate people haveing a problem with me because of my appearance. It inspires violence, that I hold back but hate haveing to. I don't even leave where I live much. So what's the best thing for me to go to school for?What job will pay decent that will allow me some isolation?

How do i know when the time is right to put my pregnant mollie in the ';isolation box';?
first i would like to know how i can tell if shes pregnant, shes a mollie and i heard they reproduce fast, she hides alot. so when should i put her in the box so the other fish dont eat the babies?How do i know when the time is right to put my pregnant mollie in the ';isolation box';?
When she looks round and plumish, If she has been with males then yes she is pregnant and they reproduce evry 4-8 weeks, I really dont suggest puting any fish in a breeder/isloation box as it causes MAJOUR stress on the fish, And can and does on some ocasions result in stilll born fry (babies), dead babies and sometimes a dead mother, A mollie is rather large to be put in a breeder box, I only suggest guppies in boxes (well i dont suggest any fish in them.) I suggest you just provide lots of plants (fake or real) and let the babies hide, After all the do reproduce every 1-2 months and you will be over run with babies so just let nature takes its tole and let some babies be eaten.
At the end of the day its up to you if you put the fish in the breeder but put your self in the fishes position, Pregnancy is allready difficult, Never mind puting them in a small 3 x 6in box,

I don't bother with such nonsense. My mollies live and thrive and breed in massive numbers in my planted 55g tank. I'm sure a few fry get eaten but thats life. The weak, deformed and stupid ones turn into snacks, the healthy, fast, smart ones stay alive.cosmetics makeup

What do you think is the reason for the cultural isolation of Irish travellers and Romany gypsies?
One possibility could be that they consider themselves to be 'not part' of the people they travel among and keep their own council which attitude will invariably alienate them from the most part of their fellow man.Travellers have been distrusted ever since man first began to settle as they were once a serious threat to life and foodstocks and in many places around the world bands of wanderers still are a great danger to settlements and travelling individuals.As people who live in settled communities shun the travellers so the travelling folk keep their own beliefs and culture wrapped around tightly,a form of uniform and badge.What do you think is the reason for the cultural isolation of Irish travellers and Romany gypsies?
They are very private people and that's the way they like it. Because of that people that don't know or understand mistrust them and make up horrible stories about them. The real Irish Travellers and Romany Gypsies are very honest and clean its the New age travellers and the like that give them a bad nameWhat do you think is the reason for the cultural isolation of Irish travellers and Romany gypsies?
My mom is Romani. Honestly, people discriminate against us. We don't know why. We haven't done anything to deserve being treated the way we do. We get denied citizenship, rights of the countries we live in and mention you are a gypsy, you're branded for life. It'd be like walking around screaming ';I'm a Jew!'; to German soldiers during the Holocaust. We don't want to deal with outsiders because of the Europeans, whom we've lived around for over a thousand years, have a problem with us. We don't want to deal with the problem of being denied basic human rights over and over so we keep to ourselves. My dad is Greek and I'm the only ';half-Romani'; in a family of over 200 and I've never met another half Romani and that's saying something. My Greek family, they can't stand me. I don't know why. I'm not a barbarian. For example, an estimated number of no less than 200,000 Romani people were killed during the Holocaust (some estimate as high as 800,000) by the Germans but Holocaust memorial groups won't recognize us or give us any recognition for what our people went through. We just don't count, it seems. It's not so much that we want to be isolated. It's just that we have to. Romani people get killed for being Romani everyday and no one investigates or gets charged in the murders because deep down, the cops, the judges and the majority population in general think ';good riddance.'; They just had an Anti-Romani march in Czech Republic a few months ago.
Because they want it that way..they have been taught over the years to stay amongst themselves as much as possible so the habit 'sticks' /gets passed down

What companies manufacture class I-division I fire rated isolation valves?
Class I Division I implies that it is in an environment that frequently has combustible material in the vicinity. If you are aware of any companies that manufacture such valves, I will call them up and do the rest of the legwork to see if they can fulfill our needs.What companies manufacture class I-division I fire rated isolation valves?
To answer the question better depends on what type of valve is required.
A few manufacturers that come to mind are, DeZurik, Apollo, Fisher (Emerson process), Flowserve and Asco.What companies manufacture class I-division I fire rated isolation valves?
You seem to be asking about NEC Class 1 Div 1. If so, are you asking about the devices that control the valve or the sealing portion of the valve?
The type of valve does matter because control valve manufacturers like Fisher can produce valves that are complete and can meet Class 1 Div 1 requirements. Some other valve manufacturers do not make valves complete with actuators or other controls. These features are added by others.
Control valves such as Fisher are not fire rated.
The use of Class 1 Div 1 to address the fluid containing ability of any valve simply isn't done. You can get valves that meet API and other ratings similar to the ball valves at the site below.
