I didn't realise it needed a cap on the outside ! Mine at my house just has two 90° bends so the pipe is facing the wall. I'll get him to look for one, thanks. (y) That's good news, thanks. I'll let him know he's safe to do it. :giggle:

Hi all. My brother is currently selling the house that he used to live in with his missus. They separated a few years ago were still married but she unfortunately passed away a few months ago so the house ownership passed directly back to him. Understandably he doesn't want to move back in there...

Thanks @RandomGrinch for the reply. The two sites I've seen 6 zones mentioned are HERE (scroll down and it's in the Tech Specs) and HERE on the Hive Community Website. That reply seems to have been posted in 2019 as well, seemingly suggesting that 6 zones are available. I agree that the...

Whoops ;) just realised my typo there @ianmcd - sorry. :ROFLMAO: The idea is that I'm gonna take the Hive off him to fit at my place as long as I can add three more stat/receiver units to cover my setup but I just need to know if it's possible, otherwise I'm gonna let him sell it on eBay...

BUMP - Anybody ? Just want to let my mate know asap if I'll have it or not as if not, he can get it bunged on eBay. Thanks (y)

Dunno if anyone can help with this but I've been offered a used Hive Multizone kit from a mate. He's decided to get a nest setup installed instead of the Hive and has asked me if I want it FOC seeing as I do a lot of the regular maintenance on his bikes for him, also FOC. It was bought either...

Thanks for the replies guys. I'll have a look sometime over the weekend to see if I can see any evidence of an earth rod in the shed but tbh I think I might just try to persude him to get a sparkie in to have a proper look at it. If it'd just been a case of reterminating the cable to provide a...

The suggestion for the 32mm earth nut was because of the limited space below the CU because of a cupboard. I also think they look a lot better than having a hole drilled through the unit and a separate banjo and nut. The far end in the shed is terminated in a little plastic 2-way unit with a...

I didn't realise those even existed @Adam_151 thanks (y) Just to confirm, looking at that reducer, I would just fix that to the CU internally with a 32mm Earthing Nut then simply screw the 20mm gland into it yes ?

My mate has an swa cable terminated in his CU incorrectly. It's either a 2.5mm² or 4mm² 3 core (I'm guessing judging by the size) but it's just been taken straight in via a big 32mm stuffing gland so the armouring isn't terminated at all. According to what he's told me, it looks like the only...

That's an option I hadn't thought of @Adam_151 worth considering - thanks. As I said in my other post about the two new units I need @Sureitsoff? painting is not an option I can be bothered with :LOL: i take it that was a bit of a facetious comment. ;) I've used those before @ebee and agree...

Thanks @Murdochcat but the 308B is way too small for what I need. The reason I want such a large enclosure is because that's what exists atm and I just want to replace it with summat similar. I'm also adding a switched FCU & a Switched 1G socket (as separate enclosures) in black, hence the...

Hi all. I've finally decided to get around to tidying up some existing external wiring I have at my house, mainly to replace the well-cracked box that houses it all. I'm a little bit tight on space so I've been looking at new IP65 or IP66 enclosures/adaptable boxes to suit, hoping to find a...

Yes I did @SUNRAY & like you, I was thinking along the same lines. I know a sparkie through my builder mate and he's got an account at the local CEF so I might ask him if he's ever fitted one, or see if they'll let him have one "on approval" so to speak to see if the two bits I require will...

Nope !! Sorry @SUNRAY I'm not gonna buy summat then have to faff about painting it, then repainting it when it starts to fall off.....rinse and repeat :LOL: :LOL: Tbh I was thinking about going down that route but then I remembered what a bone-idle git I am. :unsure: Thanks for the suggestion...

I saw that when I first started looking but like you I noticed it's an ever lighter grey than most outdoor enclosures (n). Seems to be the story of my life this, wanting things that aren't available :LOL:

It's beginning to look like that @Sureitsoff? unfortunately but I'll keep looking. I'm sure some manufacturer will have summat out there, it's just a case of finding it :LOL:. I really don't want to go down the two enclosure route if I can help it so wish me luck :unsure:

Thanks @Sureitsoff? never thought of using a dataplate :rolleyes: I'll see if there's a switched 1G socket available and I'll be sorted (y) Cheers for looking at my post @securespark, much appreciated (y) Thanks again guys :giggle:

Hi all. As the title says, I'm trying to find out if it's possible to get something along these lines using a grid system to replace an existing external setup. I would rather have a black/Dark Grey unit instead of the usual light grey if possible and I've found an enclosure that "fits the...

Thanks @ericmark had just seen all these comments about inrush currents of 50 to 100X the running current tripping breakers so didn't want to fit them and then have to tell him to get a sparkle in. Cheers.
