I've used them loads in commercial networks, brilliant when you need to join two cables. The company i worked for paid £6+VAT for each one though from their supplier (computerland) lol RJ11 to RJ45 for phones are also handy.

I've got a large van vault, drilled it to the chassis on my van so its going no where! I feel much more relaxed leaving my tools in it overnight now :roll:

As jj4091 said, use the correct size breaker for the radial to protect the cable and you'll be fine

LMAO - I started a rewire that took 2 weeks and not once did i get offered a cuppa, when i was starting on the kitchen circuits i told her i'd be turning them off and she said oh wait 2 mins i'm just gonna make a cuppa. I stood there and once the kettle was boiled she said ok you can turn them...

tell him to put both lighting circuits on the same RCD and to make a note of the borrowed neutral on his test sheets ;)

he's just checked in the loft and theres nothing, hes having another look near the kitchen sink

My friend has a stopcock in his hall near the front door, when you turn it to the closed position the hot water stops but not the cold water. Should there be another stopcock because if there is he cant find it, or is there something else that needs to be done to isolate the cold supply? He has...

Again i cant run trunking outside - shes dead adament of having nothing visible. Would i be in breach of the building regs if the board was changed with the departure noted? Or is simply no bonding upgrade within 600mm = no consumer unit change?

Went to a job today for a new consumer unit. The bonding for the gas & water needs to be upgraded. Now the customer has just had the kitchen done which is where the mains stopcock is located (under the sink), and doesnt want any cables/trunking present on her new kitchen or anything knocked out...

i'm on 2007 so might be slightly different but goto: tools>options>mail setup>email accounts> highlight your account and click change goto: more settings>outgoing server tick "my outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication and also select "use same settings as my incoming server" more...

Problem with being a spark theres so many rules and regs and their constantly changing :x I stand corrected - found this great article on the subject...

I was under the impression that they were needed if someone is living in the room above i.e. bedroom - that was confirmed when my assessor asked me about fire barriers :?

you normally put the screws in the wall 1st leaving about 1/2 inch sticking out of the wall, you then place the uplighter onto the screws and it should drop down to fix

ring your supplier up and ask them to fit an isolator switch as your planning on having a rewire done and ask for your meter to be upgraded to a digital one too. When they fit the isolator switch they will also install your new meter - as for charge it depends where you live, its ranges from...

IMO solder is the best, i have been to alot of leaks due to plastic push fit not being fitted correctly. Went to a job last week, the guy had been away for the week, came back to a flood - the whole cavity under his house was completely full of water - must have been 2ft deep. Nice insurance job...

i was told that by my lecturer years ago that using a plug in RCD on a RCD protected circuit could make both of them useless for RCD protection as they counter each other. I'm not sure how though :?

why not use a 8-10mm TRV instead? :P

how old are you - if your out of the 16-21 agegroup i think you'l find it hard :? i'm constantly getting CV's sent to me even from 16yr old kids who are still at school so its hard to get yourself noticed from the crowd. I had a guy leave me a message on my phone asking for any casual work, i...

A 9.5Kw should be on 10mm cable with a 40A breaker or even a 32A if poss taking diversity into account. 6mm on a 50A breaker will have melted the cable as its undersized :shock: Using that shower on a 6mm is a fire risk! Run a new 10mm cable from your consumer unit to the shower and...

From what i've quickly read your paying Building Control £120 and supplying the board and bits (approx £80-£100) so all in all just over £200. Why not get a spark in and do the lot for £300-£350 including parts - at least you know everythings done properly and tested, certificated and notified...
