    scrap cable stripping tool

    Just drill a few small holes into a block of wood around 1" from the top, then insert a woodscrew from the top down into the hole you've just drilled. Poke cable through hole (around 6" i.e. Enough to get hold of). Tighten screw against sheath until it pierces, then pull remainder through...

    How much water pressure for a thermal store?

    Very difficult to comment, as they have seen your install. Are your showers currently gravity fed, electric, pumped? The imbalance of pressures wreaking havoc on showers and mixers is true.

    Trying to get me off the fence eh? :nono: I haven't accepted a thing, infact I left my last job because of a similar reason. I am seriously contemplating not going back, I am sick of watching the cost managers destroy the industry that I loved. I fear there is no way for common sense to...

    Come on, I'm sure we've always been stark raving Mad? :wink: As said, in a contractual stance you're absolutely right (you can only be held responsible for your actions, etc.). However more and more pressure is being applied to designers to cover all eventualities, even if this means designing...

    Damn, that would have been a better explanation than my drawn out, convoluted one. Regards Billy

    still need answer please

    Is this like the mentality test? You have a bath full of water, what's the quickest way of emptying it? You have a spoon, and a cup.

    Intermediate switching

    Sat here between a smirk and snigger, I was so chuffed to get a first response, then I re-read - and it sunk in. I'm stealing this by the way ;-)

    Intermediate switching

    Hook, line, . . . Realised my mistake too late, had me! Was going to delete my post, but where's the fun in that?

    It's terminated incorrectly, misread

    Couldn't agree more! I see your point, but would argue (forgetting relevant Laws/Guidance) that a very high percentage of design is for "just in case" scenarios. Fire Alarms, Intruder Alarms, Controls, Cut-outs, E-stops, UPS, back up Generators, less abled alarms, could all be placed in the...

    Wiring PIR sensors looping in and out.

    So you're asking for a solution to a problem, that you're not sure is a problem? :confused: Where are the lights positioned? Are there any sources for light pollution? Do they illuminate one another? What have you set the lux levels to? What are their current ratings? What is the switches...

    Wiring PIR sensors looping in and out.

    Are these individual light & PIR units, three lights with a seperate PIR, or three lights with multiple PIR's? "Having problems" could you elaborate? Regards Billy

    Not this again! Unfortunately it's true, this is common practice now. You don't need to tell me why it's un-neccessary/stupid/borderlining criminal (cost wise), as I already know - this is merely what clients/designers/specs ask for. I've questioned their reasoning/sanity many a time, nearly...

    JIB Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) JIB and back pay?

    As said, it's your choice, I wouldn't want to sway you either way. I would however, not discuss a thing with him until you forget what he does with his company, it's frankly none of your business. You'll be down the road in no time if you argue that you deserve a pay rise because he has enough...

    JIB Electrotechnical Certification Scheme (ECS) JIB and back pay?

    Difficult one really, only you know all that happens here. I've worked for JIB companies paying less than the current rate, BUT this was negated because we got better rates for overtime - double time Sat & Sun, time and a half after x amount of hours, etc. Only you can decide if it's worth...

    Insufficient PPE for the works being undertaken (chin strap, ratchet type fastener needed). :sunny:

    For the h&s bods

    I'd class that as a "hit", not "miss". Luckily you knew that it hurts, so had your last line of defense (PPE). :-)
