Well, a consultant and educator should perhaps be a tad more tolerant and less supercilious. I doubt very much if you speak that way to anyone in a classroom :oops: How about addressing the point of a motor car. Tell me as a thicko , how can a car can run so many bits of equipment and not...

Err - sorry to be a bit thick and that, but I have just come home in my motor car. Seems to run by something called electricity at 12v - whatever that is I do not know I am sure. Let me see now - just gone out to look at the cable sizes - can't see any as thick as your arm. Total fuses 30...

Route of earth cable I intend to upgrade supplemenatry bonding in bathroom. Pipes are no problem but downflow heater, towel rail and shaver socket are on 3 different walls. The downflow heater is installed at over 6 foot high and the shaver socket is about 4 foot. I know that I bond from...

Supplementary bonding. Route of earth cable I intend to upgrade supplemenatry bonding in bathroom. Pipes are no problem but downflow heater, towel rail and shaver socket are on 3 different walls. The downflow heater is installed at over 6 foot high and the shaver socket is about 4 foot...

[/url] Looks bang up to date (june 2003) and sounds interesting. Seems pitched at the right level as well.

Thanks - they look neat. Prefer flush fitting although they would be in an alcove.

Ban-all-sheds Can I come back to you once I have a chance to read the section.on disconnect times Have ordered "The Electrians Guide" along with the "IEE on site guide" What next - maybe "Which book of wiring and Lighting" and Collins book on the same subject.

C.P.C. in 2.5mm used to be 1.0mm but only with certain manufacturers, now 1.5mm is used, don't come across it much but every now and then.. :oops: Oops - should have checked other ring circuit - house must have a partial rewire as the upstairs ring has a smaller cpc. Does this mean that is...

From what to what :?: I have some 1970 and present day 2.5 t&e and I can see no difference.

Seems the timescale is - Law passed Feb 2004 - Effective summer 2004 - 3 to 6 month transitional period From tedious slide show from Nic slide show on web site http://www.niceic.org.uk/approved/events.html

So, when did cpc's change in 2.5 t&e:?:

[Bear in mind that when Part P becomes law you will be required to update any old wiring where any new installation depends on it.quote]]. Ban_all Sheds I take you mean that any changes in regs will have to identified :?: Say supplementary bonding will have to be added where appropriate...

thanks for the feedback - much appreciated I prefer plan A as it just extends the ring circuit and does away with the chasing down to each socket. Breezer Yes it is 2.5 t&e Ban-all-sheds Have not figured out how many sockets. My wall is 28ft long (living.dining combined) - what...

DIYNOT have added a pic to my original post . Hopefully it is clear enough but I can have another go if not. Although not clear from the diagram - the wall is 28ft long with (1) 2 gang socket and 2 single spurs off the socket (not acceptable now but ok when done a good number of years ago) I...

Can you connect a fused spur directly to another fused spur ?Thinking of 3 gang socket fused outlets connected together. If it is ok - is it good practise? Not possible anymore with ordinary spurs - although my house has been wired that way in one instance. Not by me, but it was acceptable...
