    What is an adapter added to a Carlon box without threads, to give it threads, called?

    Solar So called “new kind of battery”

    Got a advert through the door, obviously targeted, as I have panels on my roof.

    I was called by the client to do final live test & issue EIC. Not so straight forward, not all cable chases have been plastered and a couple of areas where boarding has still to be completed. So annoying, anybody else come across this?
