    Domestic fuse boards

    Hello chaps, looking at different boards for dwellings. MK don’t make them anymore, Schneider are hit and miss with knockouts knocking out and the wholesaler “own brands” ( the ones they push) can be somewhat tight. I’m looking at Hager and wondering on views, before I commit to buying the 12 I...

    Permanent/Unswitched live colour

    It keeps it simple on large sites. Any prefabricated wiring systems come the same way. Keeping it the that way throughout, saves confusion

    Permanent/Unswitched live colour

    Klik roses and most pre made lighting systems come as switched brown and unswitched/permanent live is blackZ so that’s what I do

    Building Inspector/18th Edition

    Which is exactly what I’ve told him. He states that “suitably spaced” means with gaps as per regs and mustn’t be plastic. I know I’m right, but it is difficult to argue with someone that has a little knowledge and won’t listen

    Building Inspector/18th Edition

    Hi all. Thanks for the replies. Should have added, the concrete slab is 3.6m above ffl. The cables are run around the edge of rooms, stabbing out to light fittings. I’ve tried explaining the regs to the BI, but to no avail. Even the client thinks he’s just being bloody minded...

    Apologies, I’ve fixed to is concrete, below the cables will be a mixture of gridded ceilings and plasterboard ceilings

    Building Inspector/18th Edition

    Hi all, I had the following situation arise and was just wondering what others’ views were Doing a new build, started November last year. Although done tray and basket, I’ve run some cables a short distance across ceilings using cables ties. I’ve used metal fixings, nailed in with a Spit gun...

    Can I fit a plastic CU in a shed?

    I’d say a shed us not classed as a domestic instal, as you wouldn’t necessarily live in it. If you had furniture, bed etc, then that would be different. 15m from a house, I’d say plastic is fine, especially as a shed may get damp and metal could corrode.

    Permanent/Unswitched live colour

    I’ve always done black as permanent live as that’s what I was shown. Plus, as said previously, Klik roses are black as permanent, brown as switched, so it seems logical to be the same. Can’t bring this up too much though, or there will be a reg about it soon!

    Anyone installed a supply for a domestic sauna?

    10mm and no diversity as it is the only thing on the circuit, which means if it’s on, it’s all on

    Shower 8.5 on a 40mcb is it dangerous

    Shower 8.5 on a 40mcb is it dangerous

    Doing some calculations, I don’t agree with your tenants electrician. A 6mm cable, clipped direct will be absolutely fine on a 40amp mcb. The only issue is if the shower circuit is not on an RCD. Providing the run isn't miles and miles. Putting a 32amp mcb in the circuit will just cause annoying...

    Dewalt DCH333 sds.............

    I’ve had the 54v for about 18 months and I LOVE it. I’ve not found anything it struggles with. The only thing you will find, if doing long runs of uni strut is that your biceps will double in size. It does get heavy by the end of the day. Other than that it is the best drill I’ve ever had
