Not as well as couplers do.
I use conduit couplers and bushes when I want two or more accessories together - it ensures they're all square in relation to each other. Nothing...
The outer hessian serving has come away and the steel tape armour is pretty rusted but the important part of the cable that serves as the earth...
(Assuming the toothbrush chargers in question aren't in a bathroom or near a sink) I wouldn't generally recommend these but they might suit your...
To @jonbey I'd say the best and easiest solution for you is to stick with what you have and replace your existing hot water tank with a larger...
You'd be better off posting this in Electrics UK
Do you maybe have flexible hose connectors with reduced bore connecting these? What's the state of the pipework leading to the bath and shower?...
I've often thought a double shaver socket would be a good idea, but unfortunately no-one as yet seems to make them. The way I've got around it in...
I suggested it primarily for future proofing purposes. For all we know the new cable is being plastered in, in which case it would be a right faff...
Should be fine. Just make sure you have a deep enough box behind it to accommodate the heavier wiring, i.e. 47mm.
As it's a 32 amp circuit and could be used to connect an electric cooker in the future, I'd be happier with the cable to the double socket being...
No sleeving on the CPCs. If it was only the badly installed probably later T+Es I'd just put it down to bad workmanship, but the incoming 16mm2...
I'm wondering if the BS3036 bakelite switch fuse might be a red herring? ;) Possibly a retained part of an older installation that was used to...
Hah, definitely not you John (though I'm sure you know who I'm thinking of - maybe I should have added 'rude' to my description!).
He's over on the Screwfix forums (assuming it's the same ban all sheds), though some say that one particular nit-picking and argumentative current...
Sounds to me like the fire is faulty if it's blowing the fuse in the plug. It won't be your electrical installation that's at fault.
There's a bit of background to it at this site, where I found the pic. Patent applied for in 1934, granted in 1935. Mind you, I'm pretty sure the...
Yep, large circular holes in the skirting to accommodate the gubbins of those sockets (flushed into the skirtings), uniform throughout the house,...
That socket looks late 1940s/ 1950s to me, wouldn't say it's original to the house. The cable, on the other hand, looks very much like what I...
I've fitted some BG ones recently and found nothing wrong with the build quality or general integrity of them. Indeed, I'll quite happily fit them...
