    SWA needs to go from the exterior to the interior - put a junction box or not?

    I'm running SWA up the outside of a house and am wondering how best to make it off. It's going to come from the loft area, to the outside, down the house and then into a brick lean-to where it will be made off on some trunking after 500mm of run inside the lean-to. Since the armouring needs to...

    Run cable through meter box?

    I have been asked to install an external socket below the meter box. The consumer unit is directly behind the meter box and I plan to put the socket on its own circuit. The easiest route for the cable would be out of the CU, through the meter box and out of the bottom into the socket. My...

    USA Ceiling Fan Box is Strange

    New construction in USA. I think that the builder put ceiling fan rated boxes in the ceiling. But when I remove the cover, I see a strange box. Picture attached. It's hard to make out all of the details, because the painter sprayed it. Have you seen this brand/style box before? There are two...

    How do I install an outlet ( metal junction box with a gfci ) under sink for dishwasher safely?

    I was having a dishwasher delivered from Best Buy but they wouldn't install unless I had a dedicated outlet for the new d/w plug. I looked up code and its supposed to be under sink. I went to Home Depot & Lowes and they told me I can do this myself. So each helper I talked to had a different...

    Breaker Box and the Electric Company

    Two electricians looked at the breaker box in an older mobile home in the US. They said things are fine and the electric company just wants money. The electric company says in order for them to turn on power for the mobile, the breaker box has to be moved. They cut the lines at the top of the...

    NoxBox Junction Box.

    Noticed this product being promoted earlier on Youtube (can't remember who and don't remember any mention of it being a paid promotion) and just had a look at it. Maybe I'm being over-critical, but it looks as though someone decided to reinvent the wheel and decided a pre-punctured tyre would be...

    Hello everyone. I've bought a second hand Bosch series 6 (2 years old, minimal use).

    Hi all, Just moved into a house and typically now finding a fair few issues.

    The CU box is called a 'compact' and although a decent size, when an RCBO is istalled, it will fit but there is not much room at the top and those RCBOs are taller at the top. Does anyone know of another make rather than Schneider, that fit, that maker shorter RCBOs?

    Cord Grip for a surface mount pattress / back box?

    I know this is a bit of an odd one, so bear with me, I have an idea in mind, but many of the power strips I see are either a) crap b) stupidly expensive, c) lack mounting holes or d) all of the above. So given I have a fair number of 3 gang sockets and back boxes (bought for a job cancelled at...
