    Why are wall chasers so expensive

    Yep that is pretty simple but my point is a wall chaser is used to save time and one that cuts a 30mm wide chase will then have to be run up again to widen the chase so why not just use the 4 1/2" grinder. The only wall chasers to be considered are the ones that are capable of cutting a 40mm...

    Day 1 of course completed and I'm already confused...maybe I'm just stupid?

    Hi Barryj90 welcome to the forum If you are doing a night school college course there will be a lot to learn in little time if that makes sense, every college will be different but it sounds a little strange to throw up a 2 way lighting circuit for you to understand and build when he could of...

    Why are wall chasers so expensive

    Be very cautious with the cheaper wall chasers look into the width of the cut and its only 30 mm great for smaller cable capping but no good for the wider capping when chasing a few cables in. Standard 4 1/2 grinder and extractor does just as good and its a lot lighter.

    College leaver, any advice?

    Section cut from outer sheath of armoured cable.

    So those cables are dead and just left in ducts if spiked, Im wondering because surely spiking a cable to work on and then re energising after work has been completed without repairing or re jointing would be seriously bad practice and possibly fatal. Im basically asking if a cable has been...

    Does this comply with 314?

    I was taking mick m8 lol im still training and learning. But agree on the point of rcbo's as it was a new loft conversion so wouldn't of cost much. Im not to keen on the fact if a fault occurs they will loose both circuits in the loft so I would of either separated them or fitted rcbo's
