I am building my new brew kettle to upgrade from my small tesco value element powered one, and have 2 new 2.75kw elements. like these that i know a few forum people use:
http://www.heatingelementcompany.co.uk/default.asp?Product=287

infact it is this one with the old style plug.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal-2750Watt-230V-Kettle-Bain-Marie-Heating-Element-Kettle-Connector-/310759398910?pt=UK_Homes_Garden_Kitchen_Kettles&hash=item485ab41dfe

first question is does anyone have a diagram or some instructions about wiring the old style connector - i don't know which is live, neutral or earth.

second question is is the plastic nut/shroud useless - it seems to tighten well, but i know some people recon it pops off!

third less of a question more of a sanity check does the silicone washer go inside the boiler and the fibreglass one on the outside?

Cheers
