extra socket in garage

[EFLImpudence]

The Hager board is not level, according to the spirit bubble.
And the breakers don't match.

Am I OCD?

One Cool Dude? No.

To be fair, if you are mounting adjacent to strong horizontal or vertical lines, it makes sense to follow the line rather than the level, otherwise it looks out even when it's true!

Ban-all-sheds,
Just out of curiosity Pal, in the first image of the Wylex x 7 RCBO board - how come the all the neutrals are extended in blocks?
Thanks
Buba

They are crimps. The RCBO neutral leads are fine stranded.

i am an engineer and have worked with architects so have a neurotic eye for things lining up

Garage wiring:

//www.diynot.com/diy/threads/not-picture-of-the-week-™.149585/ - also includes one of a number of discussions there have been about aligning screw slots.

And don't look inside your CU.

great!!
i can sleep tonight knowing that somewhere in this world are neurotics as well

in my shipbuilding days i used to see a lot of wiring like this
i would be in the bilges bolting up sea water pipes...

.i saw it somewhere at that length...could be toolstation

Toolstation do have single lengths of conduit, but inexplicably do not have it on their website or in the catalogue.
It's £1.24 for a 3m length of 20mm.

thanks..no worries about having to look around for an off cut then
cheers

I think that I may have OCD.
It really annoys me that the initials are arranged in the wrong order.

back to the future then old chap

thanks...could i use several metres of lead cased cable i have collected, not too many nail holes in it.. in my garage then
its so easy to do earthing, just tape on some fuse wire over at joints...every section of cable then is protected and one can change fuse ratings accordingly

exactly so...more so even for kitchen cabinets in bungalows with sunken foundations
my last house

Indeed. Spirit levels are useless in my house, unless one wants everything to look wonky!

It was - you did say neutrals.

As for the lines, they must have been extended because they were too short.

thanks. i just wondered as the lines *appeared* to be straight from the t&e and the neutrals were not. hey ho!

The wires extended in the blocks look brown (line) to me, not blue (neutral) - or am I missing something (or going colour-blind)?
