Quite right, so the substituting of the insert for the chicken wire (or finer mesh maybe) should be for a short test period only - silt build up is accumulative. If you know there’s a chance of an unusually excessive amount of silt that’s going to be present while testing, then testing this way...

Best of luck (y)

Hmm, sounds odd as you would have thought the insert design would be free of bad turbulence impeding the flow. You could try it without the insert, but I would make a close fitting, simple chicken wire mesh to fit in there to prevent leaves and other debris entering during the test period. Oh...

Did you see the installer of the new bottle gully and drain perform a flow test (sloshing a high peak volume of water down it) after their installation? Did you have any issues with the water running away to the sewer before the new install? Just wondering if there is an incorrect fall from the...

Thanks. It does look that in the photo, but it's just camera distortion. I've just looked really closely at another box and both cable entry channels are the same width.

ih, Perhaps not immediately helpful, but don’t exclude the possibility that the ABS wires and adjacent cables may have been chewed by wildlife. It’s worth getting whoever is best placed to have a recce underneath the car to look for random bite marks along cables mounted on the back...

Detlef, yes I did see the extra supports on the outside one and used them for the 1mm² as shown the photos, but thanks for bringing it to my attention in case I hadn’t noticed.

Sorry Plugwash, I misinterpreted what you said, thinking you meant "slot" as in the channel a group of cables uses. Of course you meant the slot that the plastic grippers slot into – thanks.

OK that’s interesting thanks. Maybe that applies to other models? Looking at the 221-4 I, can’t see any difference between each slot’s width or their springiness etc.

Thanks for the comprehensive answer Taylor and sorry it wasn’t one of the juiciest posts. Such great weather for mowing, hope it goes well.

Just wondering if anyone has pondered this... I'm using a WAGOBOX 221-4 Maintenance Free junction box and it has two cable retainers (cable grips), one for one group of cables and one for another. As I'm only using it for an inline twin & earth connector, I'll only be utilising one grip which...

Thanks Anon, I appreciate the detail. Been a bit busy, so only just read this properly. The install was a bit different to how I thought it would be, but all's good now. I'll post some pics for anyone having CF installed as soon as I get the chance so they know what they're up against.

Sureitsoff? LOL is a way overused acronym, but I really did. Absolutely the first thing you ask every time, not just to get them on-side but because their firm might be running them ragged and they really need refreshments (I’ve been there). One of the best tips I’ve seen on a forum : - ) Dave...

Deryck, thanks for that guide about the radius. That will give me a head start. I get your point about messing with anything their side of the Denmark point. I was hoping to convince them I wasn't a savage and just pop the cable through a couple of holes under their supervision, so I'll keep...

Hi All I've got Community Fibre doing an FTTP (Fibre drop from telegraph pole) install soon and I'm trying to prepare for it. I hoped to be able to utilise the existing overhead cable bracket mounted on the facia board on the corner of the roof (currently in use for BT drop). I'm planning on...

Thanks for confirming about the drilling and notching. You’re right, the building doesn’t present a lot of options, but wow.. OK, purlins, maybe. Currently there’s only 100mm of insu in the joists, so I was going to do perpendicular timbers that might take it up to a couple of more inches, but...

Hi All I have a bungalow loft whose main pitched roof is of Purlin type, with 4 x 2 joists running at 90° to rafters. As the Joists are 4 x 2 it seems that the 1mm and 1.3mm lighting T+E cables have been run over or round joists rather than through. I’m thinking the reason was the installer...

Seems like the high winds have triggered the inevitable. If 6 of them have rotted, it sounds like it’s only matter of time… How long will you be responsible for the upkeep of the fence? No point in wasting the effort by fixing in dribs and drabs sometimes. I nursed, botched and lashed up an old...

Could it be that the magnet has nothing to do with the workings of the stove? I've just had a Google and there are thermometers available that attach to wood stoves using a magnet. Maybe this is the remains of one, i.e. the thermometer bit has broken off from the magnet part. Not a stove expert...

Wow, both sensor and cable look delicate. Would it be possible to chase out the wood to bury the sensor (countersink it) then chase a tiny channel with a Stanley knife to plop the cable into. You could tack the cable (and whatever cabling it’s extended with) into the channel with spots of epoxy...
