earthing nuts !

View media item 9719
had about 30 armoured ends to make off recently on a garden lighting job, was well happy when i found these handy bits of kitt, EARTHING NUTS. They replace the original locking rings you get with gland packs and you dont have to mess about with the earthing tags (lining them up, drilling the hole, bolting them together ,etc etc) saved me a hell of a lot of time. each side of the nut has a threaded hole and you get grub screws to hold the nut in place after you tighten it, and normal screws to link your earth wire through giving good continuity on the armouring. only trouble is there £1.50 EACH ..(OUCH) but mnaged to write em into cost of job (SEE PICTURE ABOVE) DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET EM CHEAPER ?????

are they internally threaded? the ones I saw in the mag looked like they were smooth inside, which made me doubt you'd get a decent seal outdoors ..

I believe that they are called pirahna nuts or something?

Bas has a peace in the "STICKY" about them.
They are standard 20, 25 and 32mm threads

Edmunson used to do them, is there a TLC in leeds

Nah, although to be fair, we've only had electric up here for about 2 years

The ones I've seen were threaded internally

 

[laughingjester]

yes there internally threaded.even got litle teeth on the bottom side to grip the box when tightened. just cant find em cheaper tlc ? we only got a few decent ones up here CEF etc etc

 

[ColJack]

it's the ones on the TLC website I'm on about.. if you look at the pictures there, they have no thread inside them...

I get them from Tlc basildon and they are internally threaded.

The photo is maybe wrong,or may be the light,it is same as the pic in the sticky on the forum, it has no thread.

that'll be because it's the TLC picture of them..

the little one is threaded ( assuming it's the 20mm one and the rest are the big daddies.. )
