As far as I was aware there is no need to cap over the cable. Yes it is done to protect against the over zealous plasterer but in the case I assume the plasterer will take care. If it was me I would just clip it in place and bond and plaster over it .

Hamman, I am in a similar situatin to you but only out for 10 years or so. I have just finished my full 17th, I only need the refresher but decided to go the whole hog. A good decision imo. BTW I spoke in detail to one of the tech guys at NIC and he said just do the 17th. I will go back...

Josh1e "also can the landlord demand a cert as the regs do not state a diyer needs to provide one (for this type of work) and b/. in the event labc are not involved & they would usually test under the labc initial fee, does that legally pass to the landlords responsibility? " Sorry to take...

AHHHH . My mistake. There is no risk of impact damage. It will be above head height along all of it's run except where it drops down to switches. I am intending this to be one of my assessment jobs for NIC certification so I want it to be perfect in form and function. Any advice would...

Sorry. I assumed the black pvc was ok for external use. Is there a reason it's not ? I was thinking it would be easier to use the pvc --------

Thanks Sparky ! I have been looking on Screwfix and cannot see any fittings to terminate the conduit into a compression gland - any advice ? I can't even see how a junction box would terminate to a compression gland. :? AHH after having another look - would it be the female connector...

I am designing an outdoor lighting circuit with 3 lights, and involving 6 switches all run in black 20mm conduit. I might even slip a PIR or 2 in their for fun :) The one thing I cannot work out is how to get the conduit to the lights themselves. Would you terminate it to a gland then flex...

Gazzer. What do you need to get certified with NICeic ? All you need is the 17th regs according to the NIC guy I spoke to yesterday. Of course then you have to have 2 jobs inspected and go through the NIC guys questioning which may be more difficult than the 17th exam :wink: . I am a non...

Would they charge for this ? And are they fast in responding ?

Hi, How would you go about getting a DP isolator fitted ?

TWIMC I recieved an email from Horstman explaining the wiring sequence. The booster operates on 240v so it needs both a live and neutral connecting to operate the internal electronics. It then only switches the Live out. thanks for the advice guys.

I've shaken myself out of my stupid stupor........ it is 2.5 conductor with 1.5cpc. DOH

I am a previously trained spark coming back to the trade. I am here reading through Elec guide to building regs to refresh my thinking and while reading the final circuit tables under the Title Cable csa PVC/PVC it shows the following 2.5/1.5 for the "ring supplying 13a socket outlets" row...

Ok I get the point. :? Baxi Instant Combi 105e. I was thinking of ease of wiring, 3 core and earth from boiler to booster switch......any better ?

Thanks Mogget Do you think it would be best to wire the booster from the Boiler terminals with a 3 core and earth. ie live neutral earth AND return switched live ?

http://www.horstmann.co.uk/water-heating.php#Electrisaver I know they are designed for immersion heaters but I also believe they can be used to "boost" the central heating instead of turning it on and forgetting to turn it off. :x It is designed to be a double pole switch operated ON by...

What is the best van ? I don't really want a big transit type van. I like the look of the Ford Connect but it is pricey compared to the Fiat Doblo. Ok the Doblo is bloody ugly ! But at least it is cheap :lol: So what van do you have and is it the best you have had ?

Hi guys, I am researching coming back into the industry anfter a long layoff and my local training provider to accomodate this is Hybrid Technical Services of Aintree Liverpool. Has anyone out there used them for training or certification ? They run a new entrants course and although I did...

I am no expert here but wouldn't the safety/overheat thermostat be worth checking ? I assume it is the thermistor type, and as long as you have a multi meter it should be easy enough to check. WOW where did all those posts come from ?
