    Lost or forgotten installation tips from the past!

    So a screw nail is a wood screw (or as us kids call them, a screw...) or a nail? Surely nothing is a screw unless it has a thread? Unless it's the result of a lucky night out.

    Highest paying specialty?

    You worked one career for 40 years to achieve minimum wage!? Pretty much every self employed spark I know, once they're established earns about £40-45k a year, on the basis that with a good reputation that's not too tough to achieve, and that it's fairly pointless trying to earn more as you...

    Is the chapter Classical Mechanics used by electricians?

    I think we all use the above in our daily lives, regardless of profession.. :) Why are you trying to seek a connection between these things and the working life of an electrician though? To be honest a good industrial fluid or pool engineer would be far more relevant to the forces you have...

    Angle drill for joists

    There are attachments but they're pretty crap. Makita do a decent angle drill, I'm sure the other big brands do too. I only ever buy makita on the basis we already have the batteries and charger. I think if you tried to use any other solution you would get frustrated quickly. I also accept...

    Why do some customers stand 6" behind you?

    People that watch, people that whistle endlessly, people that try and act overly familiar with something they no bugger all about. Line em all up and.... Obviously if an attractive lady shows an unusual level of interest in anything I'm doing that's fine. I assume she fancies me, and rightly...

    You called it a screw nail in the first place mate - I've never seen one either ;) EDIT!!! Sorry, it was @sparkdog haha Still lost as to what a screw nail is...

    Lost or forgotten installation tips from the past!

    Sorry I just read the 'screw' part!! I've re-read properly now. What is a screw nail..?

    Surely faster to pre-drill than wait for it to rust? :p

    SY Cable? Thoughts?

    In such circumstances, could sy cope for 1 year without issues? In a single years use is there a concern about oils and subsequent breakdown?

    SY Cable? Thoughts?

    I was about to say the same thing but in Germany I was once shown around Festo's factory in Stuttgart and their assembly machines used it too. Constant movement, nothing more than some basic cable support around the glands. I think they were using it's relative inflexibility to support itself...

    Submersible pump testing

    Fair play. Maybe the pump you hooked up was nothing to do with the recycling process and was just there to move water up to the top floor bogs ;) Water and the sparky stuff is a fun mix though - and it's nice to see just how basic a plumbers job is when you take a good close look ;)

    Submersible pump testing

    God knows why you can't see the videos. Does this work?? The reason we swapped to Calpeda was to do with bromine, we had a project that used it as steriliser in place of chlorine. As the grunfos pumps are designed for potable water, they were fine with chlorine, but not great at...

    Submersible pump testing

    But why multistage pressure pumps? Don't you just need a volume of water as opposed to pressure control? I still like my theory that paper fibres would separate faster under pressurised conditions... :) That surely has to be the case!?

    Submersible pump testing

    But... it's not the tool, it's what you do with it ;) I suppose I have to ask why pressure pump sets were used in paper recycling? I'll take a wild guess, paper in pressurised water re-pulps faster!? Used to maintain that pressure?? Or just to make sure the bogs on the third floor refill each...

    Submersible pump testing

    We use calpeda pump/controller sets as they actually seem to be better at reaction to pressure drop than grunfos. Although by default the swing is too large, but you can tighten it up to 0.1 bar. I seem to recall grunfos could be tightened further if you went into psi mode, but the actual...

    Please advise me on safety of loose plug

    It is interesting that teenagers are supposed to select which subjects they wish to specialise in at school, before the basics of plug>socket are covered. They're actually taught pythagoras theorem by default, ahead of having sufficient knowledge of day to day stuff. Does this pupil need to know...

    Please advise me on safety of loose plug

    The OP is going to have a bit of a shock and learn a lot the next time they check this thread :D

    Please advise me on safety of loose plug

    Let's just say I feel that as we 'go it alone' a ballsy, imaginative thinker with an interesting life story might be a bit more useful than an uptight, sour fac... Never mind. Don't want to derail a thread with my political opinions :)

    Please advise me on safety of loose plug

    Actually having a loose plug would be more fun than brexit. Sadly brexit is being overseen by a lady that by all evidence, seems to have an overly tight plug.
