Ok thanks for the replies. I was thinking of that myself john buying a box and using some terminal strips. As like u say will give me more room and it does say on the jb about only taking 4 cables.

Hi, Is it ok to have 5 cables coming out of a domestic 20 amp 4 terminal junction box? They will be powering lights and a bathroom fan, via the correct isolators and switches. Thanks

Ok thanks John, Yes the circuit will be RCD protected, so that sounds a good idea.

Thanks guys! In your opinon do you think i need to put a switch on the circuit to control the lights? they will have sensors on them.

Hi, i would like to know, if you can have 2 wires going out of 1 circuit breaker ? To power 2 outside lights, 1 at the front of the house and 1 at the back? Rather than having to use a JB to split the cable. Thanks

Hi All, I plan to run my sink waste 32mm pipe into my 40mm shower waste pipe using a reducer, then it will run into the main soil stack. Can i keep it in 40mm pipe or does it need to be enlarged to 50mm pipe? Thanks

Thanks sparkwright, i will not be doing the job, just want to get an idea for when the electrician quotes for the job. Just been having a look at fused main switchs, what size fuse will need to be fitted in it? Also would 16mm2 cable be enough, from the consumer unit to the fused main...

Hi My consumer unit is in the garage, just above the main incoming cable. I want to move my consumer unit over 3 metres from the main fuse (tails etc. What will i need to do this? and what size cable will i need to use, the consumer unit is a split 15 way both protected by RCBs. Thanks.

Ok thanks John. I was thinking of buying an MK Switched fused connection unit? Do u think that will be ok?

Plus the circuit will be rcd protected and from the ring final circuit.

Hi, Can u fit a switched fused connection unit in a bathroom for a towel radiator? Any straight answers would be great thanks.

Thanks for the reply, its a full rewire, so all new cables will be run in. I will ask my electric provider to fit a new meter, as the one in is really old and makes a buzzing noise, so they can connect the new tails up then. I will be getting the installation fully inspected and tested.

Ok thanks, i didn't realise you could use tails that long. I will be boxing the cables in and they will be above head height, so shouldn't get damaged. I will have a measure up tomorrow, to see how long it is.

Hi My consumer unit is in the garage, just above the main incoming cable. I want to move my consumer unit about 3 metres from the main fuse (tails etc. What will i need to do this? and what size cable will i need to use, the consumer unit is a split 12 way both protected by RCBs. Thanks

Or i think i understand, i could put the 15 mm pipe into the 22mm pipe?
