I like my pvc pipe cutters. They cut round and oval pvc conduit up to 25mm and they have notch so you can hold and cut mini trunking up to yt2, all with a neat straight edge. Oh and a headlight. ( not sure how bright those Marlboro lights are in a loft :lol: )

Depending on the oven, I find the forked crimps fit well. And as B.A.S has already said, use the correct crimping tool.

Just another post to say what an excellent guide that was from RF. By reading a number of posts lately it seems like the standards in the colleges are not what they were. When I was at college the lecturers were a good mix of boffins and ex professional sparks. The guy who taught me to do pyro...

On the type I was talking about you need the key to open the front cover so I assumed he had already used the key.

I agree whole heartedly with what Adam and Ricicle have said. There is far too much emphasis put on instrument test results and paperwork during pirs. You can fill the form in with boxes ticked and test results logged but without a thorough inspection some real horrors can be there that arent...

If it's the one I'm thinking of, when you've removed the cover a small hole is exposed with a small allen headed bolt in which holds the barrel in position. Loosen this and you should be in.

Probably because of the size and design of the box. Spark 123, I agree on that, and it would have been better in a bigger metal box but it's still ok. God knows why I'm defending it. It's not my work and I wouldn't have done it like that. But I did drag the photo up :oops:

If I remember correctly this was a join made to relocate a socket or fcu and not installed deliberately like this. It ran horizontally about 8ft up and had originally dropped down to a socket. The cable had been pulled up, joined, then the socket had been relocated further along the wall.(I...

Ok so it's not a perfect example, but even with an extra brass locknut or piranha nut the swa could be earthed in a small space and that was what I was trying to show. I agree that the box is small but everything fits ok. It is actually indoors on a warehouse wall so glands entering the sides...

You don't need that much room to earth an swa gland, even in a small plastic box :wink:

I think of this fella

Just got to look at the writing on the CU. Poor and sloppy. Says it all.

Sounds like an episode of Camberwick Green.

All the houses in the same little street near a lovely hillside, lucky eh? :D Wonder when he does his testing and paperwork. :?

For a generator I reckon. Better than the old widowmaker.

and remember. Visual inspection is a very important part of a p.I r. :wink:

To the OP. Do you know if there is a test switch for these lights? It may be in the off position.
