Thats ok then thanks. I was just making sure there nothing I've missed. Like the cu I picked up for the house wasn't a high integrity board. I made the stupid mistake of picking up the wrong cu as they were all on the same shelf. Also t the time I wasn't aware what the heck high integrity was...

yeah I did notice that. But somthing similar would be ok right?

So I take it the one am about to buy frm screwfix is the one to be used?

yeah you use a fully insulated one but it can crack when tighten up the gland. I was taught to use a metal enclosure so I thought I'll stick with it. I know there is a special nuts to get around this but nah. Keep it to what I used before. :D

After the episode I had with the consumer unit for the house, I wanted to ensure I purchase the right one. http://www.screwfix.com/p/wylex-2-way-garage-unit-63a-30ma-rcd/53927 I need a metal one because am using swa with a cable gland then tightening it to the cu. within in the garage I...

I'm using H07rn-f cable because I've read its uv proof http://www.clasohlson.com/uk/Rubber-Cable/Pr490269005 I was taught T & E isn't really suitable for outdoor use.[/youtube]

Hi i want to know if there is a junction box I can use for the security lights. It's easier since I don't need to drill another hole for the second security light. just need to feed both of them from the junction box . The gland that I saw said it's for 6mm cable. Mega overkill for such a...

sorry just had a look in my onsite guide but am still confused. Does the span of th joist mean the entire length of joist? The socket in question is in the top front room. So is it the length between the exterior wall at the front of the property to the dividing wall ( one that divides the front...

Hi I brought a 2d bulkhead fitting for a bathroom. Am a little bit confused as to how to screw it onto the ceiling. It has no screw holes unlike a ceiling rose. Do I just make my own? Wouldn't that derate it's ip rating?

lets hope someone from the commmunite can put forward our scientific arguement.

http://www.wago.ltd.uk/222.html On their website it has an enec logo. Does this mean it's ok to use in the UK?

well that video was conclusive. I'll check if it's acceptable to just notch it. Then I'll put warning tape along the piece of floor board going on top of the joist. That's the best I can do really. It's for a socket point used by unskilled/ instructed person so under the regs it has to be RCD...

Hi I purchased some wago connectors from Clas Ohlson today. The packaging says they're rated for 32A at 400v. Am I correct in saying you can hide these under floor boards within a suitable enclosure? I was introduced to them by my electrician friend but he said you can't get them for use on...

The problem I have is two pipes are clipped to the joist thereby not allowing me to drill centre of the joist and complying with the 50mm top and bottom requirement. It runs in parallel along the whole length of the joist. My understanding of the regs is that you could use steel conduit as long...

In my opinion it never hurts to ask someone whos more experienced than I am. Am a trainee at the moment. I'm rewiring this house to become nappit registered. To be fair how else am I supposed to gain experience if nobody I've asked is willing to take me on as a apprentice? Am sure doing a damn...
