I'm sorry, I'd forgotten it was part way through. I must have been premature then. I was installing metal long before then, as directed by the company...maybe they knew something was coming?

No. I was installing metal boards under the 17th.

Grumble, moan...

And is it still the case that you can continue to fit plastic CUs in commercial premises? There might not be many around to choose from...

IDK, I don't have a copy of the latest book. Sorry EFLI...missed that.

At least under the 17th you could still use plastic CUs, as long as they were mounted within a non combustible enclosure...

Wow.

Here's the outside of the cabinet with the two compartments that contain the flus at the moment. And inside, you can see the glass windows that let light in to the interior of the cabinet. And inside one of the compartments

Yes, I need to stick with a linear fitting. The LED fittings I've seen of the same length are designed for under-cabinet use and vary wildly in wattage. The most I've seen is 7W for a fitting 395mm in length. The existing one is 440. They are fitted behind glass, either side of the main...

I did attend a house fire, but the seat of the fire was not the CU but the CH pump that had jammed and overheated, setting fire to a load of plastics that were stuffed around it in the cupboard.

I have a mirror cabinet in the bathroom that has two 18W fluorescent fittings in. One by one they died, so I want to swap them out. The actual gear has died, so I'll be taking the fittings out and sourcing LED fittings of a suitable length to replace them. But what would be the equivalent in...

In my entire three decades, I only ever got called out to one consumer unit that started melting then smouldering due to a loose connection on a shower MCB.

Do you mean "not being metal?"

Late to the party as ever... Not fire integrity, but gaps in enclosures should be sealed or closed up. IP4X on horizontal surfaces and IP2X on vertical ones. 1. Where I think the guy might have got confused with fire integrity is that the IP4X rating is considered difficult for dust and fluff...

I can tell you're a reasonably young fella. Drinking is not all about getting off your face. It might be when you're young, but not later. In any case, my medical situation dictates I cannot drink, due to several of the medications I take. Sods law. I really miss my single malts. But that's...

Used to cycle a lot when I was a strapping young fella. Of course, in those early days, there was no soshull media and all the argument went on at meets or in the pub afterwards. There was all sorts of discussions going on about which routes were good, which bit of kit was better, saddles...

I love a great variety of zero beers. And a lot of them are very good.

Just leave me in the pub and I'll see you lot later, I don't walk that well. But don't worry, I'll be sober when you get back...I don't drink a drop of alcohol.

A bit like listening to the DJs on the radio as a kid then you got to see them on TOTP... "They look nothing like I imagined them to look from their voice..."
