or the cheaper reply is sufficient!

quite possibly with the movement of the flex , however people dont hang pictures or screw skirting boards into flex from lampholders..

i would assume that if you were to ever have failure of the insulation of live/neutral "with in" the T&E cable it will leak into the unsheathed earth cable and maybe trip the RCD/RCBO/MCB :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

hi, its run in 6mm T&E clipped underneath the upper level flooring. its then passes into my garage that is adjoined to the house. its currently sitting on a 32a mcb that was left from the builders as the garage used to be a sales room so a ring was fitted. ive now removed the socket...

just a quick one, my cu is split with rcd protection which is good, however i want to un wire a circuit from the RCD protection and place it on the unprotected side as it powers my garage and within my garage i already have a 2 way rcd cu fitted. is it simply a case of removing the...

just thought i would add a bit extra into the discussion.. im assuming ant has seen some 12v spots at B&Q. ! (baaah) go for the silver ones!! gold looks tacky! :P

not really a problem unless you adding millions of them, if you just adding a handful maybe 4/5 then should be ok.

yeah its a closed grommet, i think a open gromett would just be a luxury that you did not catch your fingers on the metal case while poking your fingers into the busbar!!!

Im red/green colour deficient! never stopped me working as a military electrician (although my trade was changed from aircraft which have a tentency to fall out of the sky (and are full of electronics and other silly components) to ships/submarines).. it did however stop me getting in the fire...

thats what i thought... its on the very bottom of the CU which if you stand next to it is just above waist height! i think the rubber grommet does the trick. provides sufficent protection from live parts and complies to ip4x

what is the outtake on grommets... we have a metal consumer unit where at some point a 32mm hole has been drilled / knockedout for a supply. that supply has since been removed and the hole left. i have a rubber grommet to fill the gap but i cant find any where in the 17th regs to say it...

haha what was i thinking! lol

nothing wrong with replacing the current fitting with replacemnt fittings cable size would be best to match up with the current cable installed (i.e may be on a 1.0 / 1.5mm twin and earth) the light fittings should be fitted in series (switch -> 1 -> 2 -> 3) why you changing the...

hi guys, i know this is a DIY'er forum but i know some of the posts are from qualed sparks, been a military electrician i have very limited experience working on domestic electrics and most of my experience is gained from (my own property and from also having a day out with a sparky in...

you only need the one FCU when spuring off if its your intention to install 2 sockets.. yes its ok to mount the sockets to the wood providing its not damp or could get wet. its up to you how to enter the socket boxes (rather than drill just buy a conduit box with the push out circles as...

I would like to board my loft out so i can utilise it as "proper storage" and also as a play room for my "Electric Trains.." mainly for my electric trains... i know im sad lol but its one hobby that the weather cant spoil unless the power goes off lol. its a new build property so its nice and...

well my 98' rover 420 d is turning over slowely but not jumping into life. the aa guy said some thing might be siezed but could not give a proper diagonoisis... he said could be alternator, could be oil pump... 'could be fairy's living in my valves...' IDIOT how unhelpful.. any...

yeah mechanicla damage is minimal. got nothing in the back garden to cause concern , and yes the switch will be located less than 2 meters but again nothing to cause concern. (famous last words) the sockets are protected by RCD so will be ok with a 3amp FCU, just had a look and the light...

oh no just checked its PVC flex i got so will have to buy some...!!!
