    Nicked a Wire Under the Floor...Junction Box or Rerun?

    I dropped my multi-tool onto a 10/3 wire yesterday when removing some rotted flooring in a mobile home. I could see a bit of copper so I don't feel comfortable just wrapping it in electrical tape and calling it good. There is a crawl space underneath the mobile home where I can have the wire...

    Resistor across L-N in an adapter box. Possible or asking for trouble?

    Convert a dry lining box into a surface mounted box

    An odd question granted but bear with me. I've got to extend a radial circuit in a community centre to fit a new hand dryer in the toilets, but I have two restrictions. 1. It's a listed building so I'm not allowed to damage the walls in any way. 2. Even if I could, I've been told there is...

    Fire & Acoustic Socket Box Inserts vs Putty?

    Hi all, Looking at putting in either putty or those premade fibre socket box inserts for fire rating + air leakage reasons. Just wondering if anyone has any experience and if the putty you have to mould in yourself is better than the premade fibre boxes or not.
