Got mine on Sat, thought it was asomeone doing a screwfix rip off at first, but it is actually associated with screwfix. Had a quick scan through and it looks ok. Prices seem to be approx 10% less than the standard screwfix catalogue. Got to be worth a go....

I'm with the NIC DI scheme, to date their admin has been awful. Had 6 sets of certs 'lost in the post' thats both the customer copies and the BCO copies, one cert maybe but 6 sets......... :x but soon as I call to complain they arrive within a couple of days. Which is a pain when the...

Megger for me too, tried a Fluke 1651 for a while but the leads were awful. Ended up buying a Megger 1502/02 less than 6mths old off eBay for under £300, great piece of kit............only downside with the 1502 is the lack of auto RCD, so its worth paying a bit more and getting a 1552.

Nice one, thanks for the heads up :D

thanks for the advice, much appreciated. The origional wiring was VIR in steel conduit, the conduit has been reused by the council rewire (looks like an 80's job, cream wylex with 1361's, 6mm bonding) they've used the origional conduit drops in each room(unfortunately looks like there was...

Don't know if its different between schemes but my NICEIC assessment covered the following..... Started off going through all my books/paperwork copy of the regs (make sure you have the corrigenda of updates off the IET website), part p doc, EAW regs, etc etc then he moved onto my...

Bugger :lol: Close but no cigar then :lol: :lol: so if I follow correctly if it was installed in the hallway etc then the 1.2m would be right ?

I've got a bit of a disagreement :) on my hands......... I've been asked to help out on a new build project (4 bed detatched), the spark running the job has detailed that the CU will be mounted 6" below the ceiling height in the internal garage....... I thought that CU's in new builds are...

RS components have them... http://uk.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=getProduct&R=2509674411 But if you only need a couple I'd head for Maplins

Gotta love NYC....... how many stone have you put on ? :D those US boys love their large portions

Did exactly that with one of my jobs that the NIC looked at on Friday, initally he queried it, but as it was labeled 'not for use for outdoor equipment' (Dymo label not hand written) and all the other sockets in the kitchen were on an RCD he passed it (16th ed install by the way)

looking at Table 61 in the big red one.... Extra Low voltage circuits are >0.5Mohm and Low voltage is >1Mohm changed from >0.25 and >0.5 in the 16th........ or am I wrong ?

I've used mine many times, its OK in the soft stuff and produces lovely square holes in breeze or clinker blocks, but it can struggle when you get into decent bricks, and forget it in engineering bricks !! I have had a couple of occasions where a brick has broken in on itself and left far...

Mine also has the 'gap' IIRC they say that it floats on the shaft as a safety feature.....i.e if you forget to select roto-stop it won't rip out of your hands

Yep all 6 fcus were on individual radials on 20A type C breakers, with the loads connected straight into the supply terminals. centre manager said it couldn't be a problem because they've never had problems with them. The shower switch was feeding a bank of 6 pumps and pir sensors in the...

Been helping a mate out this week doing PIR's....thought I'd stick some pics up (seeing as you all like pics so much) from a local sports centre..... 4mm radial doubled up with an already well loaded ring final.......even though there were spaces available in the board. One of six...
