I am about to connect up my 12V battery to my inverter (at last!) and I need to crimp some copper tube terminals on to the end of the cable. I have purchased an indent crimper for these tube terminals but I notice it is different to my crimping tool for insulated crimps. The stem of tube...

Do they exist, I have just inspected a job and seen 25mm tails extended under floor boards in standard Henley 25mm tails block, can you get 25mm maintenance free joints? It would this have to be made accessible eg hatch or something Ect? Which I still feel is poor as I've seen them carpeted over...
Afternoon all..
A couple of questions..
I shall be installing an 80A switch fuse after the cut out as both the supply and the CU are being moved and they will be greater than 3m apart. There will be approx 2m of tails on the outside wall in conduit and the remainder (approx 8m) will be between...

Hello everybody.
Forgive my ignorance but I have read for he past 3 days many posts regarding the meter tails in relation the a consumer unit upgrade.
It seems that to today's standards (regulations shall I say) these must be at least 25mmCSA.
In fact, in one of the of my many internet print...
Hey guys,
I'm having a bit of a clear out, and got some meter tails to offer.
25mm double insulated.
Double brown and double blue. (i.e not grey)
Will do this at £3.50 per meter, and i'll stick them in the post free of charge.
cheers
Hello,
For the first time I need to use some 25mm uninsulated crimps. These connections are going into a junction box. My plan is to put heat shrink over them to insulate.
Is heat shrink ok to do this job? Also what current rating are these crimps? Anything else I should be looking out for...
Hi, i've ran a radial into an extension. There are no spare ways on the existing 3036 DB. All the circuits are doubled up in fuse holders anyway and i want to leave that board well alone.
I'm gonna put a new 2 way DB in to feed this radial.
The existing board is fed in 25mm tails straight...

outbuilding is 28Mtrs from main house and will have no extraneous conductive parts as the water feed will be plastic.

hey all,
can any one tell me where to get some blue/brown/g-y sleeves for 25mm cable? struggling to find any, or is it easyer to get some heat shrink for them?
A friend of mine replaced all electrical accessories and cables during renewal of his condo.
But the main cable they installed has burned 2 days after they switced electric on.
He rejected when he asked to his supplier for replacement. The supplier said the size choosen by electrician is wrong...
Hello
Had a new consumer unit fitted recently.
At end of day the electrician pointed out the tails from meter to CU were 16mm and the fuse at the supply head may well be 100 amps. We couldn't check this as the supply heads for the flats are in locked room and site manager chap wasn't around...

I'm using lengths of 25mm PVC channel to bury some cables in plaster/breeze, but despite trying several nail sizes, the channel keeps splitting & cracking when I secure it.
What nails are recommended to avoid this please.

Hi all i went to look at a job where another electrician has installed the 25mm armoured to a 3 phase board supplying a commercial kitchen. The electrician has installed a 3 phase isolator at intake using 160 a fuses. I was wondering the max 25 mm run surface for about 20 meters also the co...
