    Quality of the new Wylex MCB's

    Made me wonder if they were counterfeit.... Or that Wylex are just making them on the cheap now days?

    Quality of the new Wylex MCB's

    Hi All, just changed a C/U for new 17th Wylex hi-integrity unit from Screwfix £65-00 plus the dreaded.... Really impressed until i put some tape over an mcb to make sure i didn't turn that circuit on, removed the tape about an hour later to find that all the writing on the front of the mcb had...

    Concealed cable

    could just put a flush box in with a blank plate on where the cable comes through the wall so you can tell there a cables in this area.

    Whats the best accesory brand

    A company i used to sub contract too use DETA brushed chrome accessories and the terminal screw would snap on at least 50% of them. They used these as an alternative to MK but if you needed to undo a terminal it meant you'd have to replace the accessory (not so cost efficient me thinks). When...

    Whats the best accesory brand

    Always used MK apart from 18 month on MOD job which was all Crabtree, it did a job but the terminals weren't the best. But in say that MK's FSU are like this, also their 2 gang plastic switches are crap and look horrid too rather make one of these out of grid components (would cost too much...

    Lets scrap Part P! and have a system like this instead.

    wow i wasn't expecting this reaction.... In the last 6 months i've lost count of the jobs i've been to where customers have DIY'd resulting things being connected up wrongly. The best one was 2 T&E which were hidden in a partition wall with the conductors just twisted together (no...

    Lets scrap Part P! and have a system like this instead.

    You shouldn't be able to buy electrical cable and accessories without having a part p card or ecs card which proves you've done a full apprenticeship and 2391. I know that would affect the likes of B&Q but it's the only way I can think that would work

    Hair Salon Backwash shower unit.

    When i used to work for a company years ago i was sent several times to a Hair salon to change 8.5 kw domestic type shower unit that they used for hair washing. If i remember correctly they used Wickes own which were Triton ones rebranded. They always kept one or two spare units and took them...

    Outside Lighting

    It's one of those lovely situations, the customer has had some fancy lighting company out to design it and they will be supplying some copper style 12v spike lights along with the submersible type Tx's. I won't be burying the Transformers, these will be the only things above the surface with the...

    Could you please tell me what this cable is

    If and when you get a sparky in to check it please take a photo of the consumer unit and post on here as we'd all like to see.

    Outside Lighting

    its really a question of aesthetics as the garden is really fancy and although i really like the idea of the inspection pit (Will definitely bear in mind for future projects) they will just stand out too much and i know that the landscape gardener and customer won't go for this idea.

    can i not just bury the cables without anything showing apart from the Tx's and draw a precise plan of where every thing is? The Tx's will indicate where the 240v joint is located (this being a resin joint or Pratley box).

    Outside Lighting

    every thing really needs to be buried except the Tx as all the plants nearby are deciduous and will die back just leaving the spot lights. The idea of IP Boxes on the wall is good but the nearest wall or fence is 20 metres away.

    Outside Lighting

    Engineer 54 at the moment i always use Heat Shrink on the 12v side if it just 2 cables being joined, but what is the best option if running more than 1 light off the TX. Do you Heat shrink the 240v joints? Like the idea of the concrete plinths but not able to use them on this project.

    Outside Lighting

    Fair point about using the sheath using a conductor is always better. My main question is the best method of terminating the SWA in a flower bed with a TX at this joint. Then what type of Joint to use on the 12v side of the TX ? Hope this makes my problem easier to understand.
  18. S

    Outside Lighting

    no they are spot lights in flower beds and the IP68 TX will be the only other thing above the ground.

    Hi Peeps, would like your opinions on how you terminate cables in the middle of a garden for 12v lighting. My take on it is to run SWA and use the Sheath as cpc, with the SWA being terminated into Resin joints/Branches with submersable 240-12v Transfromers feeding mutliple 12v Spot lights. These...
