Why? Easier to wire I suppose, but its hardly gonna save much time when only doing two!

Winner!

"Hello yes, is that Hotpoint........yes........yes...........PE87 7JH.............yes, its all flamey and orangey and hot and my dog was near it and now he's all spikey and rigid..........yes.........in the morning will be fine........no, I won't do any more washing until he gets here...

Oh my god, how awful if he never came back now! "Functional switching and emergency isolation"???? Got an answer for everything don't you! Did you swallow an OSG?

Not exactly filling him with confidence here are you! "Lets leave 'em in and just call 'em the death switches!"

Oooh much quicker that time John!

Socket in my opinion, and most convenient. New washing machine next year? No need to rewire again!

Genius. You should give courses! But how does he get to and from the DIY Shed? :lol: EDITED - But far more comprehensive! I wondered why you had gone quiet again!

WHOA THERE! There is a plug if you are putting in 13amp unswitched sockets. Try and keep up Davelx! I can see poor Dean ending up with the same situation but reversed!!!! "Right, socket installed, now cut plug off, Oh French Connection United Kingdom!"

Behind the plate should be three wires, probably: Red - Live Black - Neutral Green and Yellow sleeved copper - Earth Put these in the terminals as marked, although any socket you might buy today will probably be marked:- Brown - Live Blue - Neutral Green and Yellow - Earth Just...

Will you stop coming in here and suggesting simple, uncomplicated suggestions that are just as good as my own "can't see the wood for the the trees" ideas!!!!! :x

I've never even heard of torrents, so I wouldn't know. I couldn't even spell Demonoid so I think you should stop mentioning it! :shock:

Indeed, but as stated, it is notifiable! LABC must be informed or it could be a hefty fine.

I was wonderring how long it would take John, I was trying not to suggest it before you! :lol: RCD sockets cheaper? perhaps not for an outdoor one, even a cheapy Greenbrook jobbie!

NO. AN EARTH SPIKE FITTING TOOL! :!:

Hammer!??!?!?! Thats almost as bad as my chainsaw suggestion! I dont use a hammer, I use one of these:- Beware PDF alert http://www.canford.co.uk/commerce/resources/catdetails/2385.pdf

Yeah, ok. Even weatherproof can get damp as a result of condensation build up. I totally agree that the RCD should be there for safety's sake, but you might want to set up some sort of no-volt/supply failed alarm for the RCD as a whole, or even just for the fishtank. I can't help but protest...

The shed supply doesnt have to be RCD's only sockets that might reasonably supply outdoors equipment. Supply the shed/garage/whatever with appropriate overcurrent protection but not RCD, then stick a split load board on the other end (bit overkill) or just make sure the sockets you put in...

So when your damp outside socket trips the RCD and all your fish die, you'll hard wire the fish equipment onto the non RCD side of the new split load board? :twisted:
