Hi all, our summer house had a FuseBox consumer unit fitted last year and the guy who did the work has retired. nothing wrong with the install however my wife wants an outside light fitted and would be best to run some white 20mm conduit to the CU as it would blend in when we decorate. the CU...
I don't think I have worked with 32mm conduit before. Always 25mm and 20mm.
I want to contain 2 x 25mm tails and 1 x 16mm earth in some 32mm (rigid) plastic conduit. Where it comes out of the wall I would usually use a round conduit box. I cant find 32mm (plastic) round conduit boxes so I shall...
So I was minding my own business, ordering some red stuffing glands for a fire alarm modification, and this caught my eye:
"The SWA CG/SF-20SR is a 20mm Small SmartFit cable gland. It simply snaps in to place, meaning you save time when applying, and there is no need for a locknut or threaded...
I want to put a 16mm compression gland into an oversized round plate, say 100mm dia or smaller, basically to act as a stopper against a loose object it's supporting (this is a custom stage light). 1mm-ish sheet steel would be ideal but before I go diving around the skip bins of sheet metal...
Hi
I am doing my Compex refresher in a few weeks and my mate has just completed it but was given the attached slide and obviously was on the understanding this is the correct gland that needed to be chosen an Exe non armoured, but the lecturer told him this is incorrect and he should have chosen...
I am looking for some sensibly priced thread convertors so that I can screw my 25mm compression glands to the convertor/adaptor to then use the existing 20mm holes. On Andersen chargers there is a 20mm hole for cable entry and its a very tight squeeze to get a drill or cone drill bit in to...
Has anyone used a brass gland plate to earth a line of SWA glands e.g. at a DB, and had anyone such as an NICEIC inspection flag it up as non-compliant?
I am proposing to screw a flat plate of brass onto the top of the DB and mount the glands through it with their usual locknuts, A brass bolt...
Anyone used those wiska slim tail kit glands?
Tried using one today. Not sure it's worth the extra work.
Had a 32mm knockout on the board. The gland specifies 32mm. I put it in and it just kept falling out.
Decided to drill a slightly smaller hole. Got to 32mm on the cone drill bit and it...
Just wondering if others make off their armoured glands at both ends has have worked with sparks previously and seem to have different takes on it. My thoughts are that if glanded and so earthed at origin is acceptable so if for example supplying a sub board in garage a plastic gland at the...
New induction motor turned up at work today.
The entry options are now 20mm and 45mm.
The previous motor was wired in 5 core, 6mm S/Y, through a 32mm compression gland.
I would prefer to make the S/Y off with a proper cxt gland.
A cxt32 is the size I will need. I am not sure what size the...
This sparks has given a review on a new ‘storm’ gland for swa
View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgF0Whvm0d4
looks alright and no need for the rubber shroud sock
I need to replace this mess with a switch fuse (not the socket, obvs). The pyro is imperial; IR is low(ish) but above the minimum. Estimated age is about 60 years. The only things I'm missing are a banjo and a locking nut. I'm pretty sure I can get a 25mm banjo on to fit, but what thread were...
Help please.
Firstly the kit I'm using.
Wiska 607 box. 25mm knockouts.
4mm 3 core swa.
20s gland
Wiska 25-20mm reducer
Secondly the issue.
The 20s gland is to short to show thread through the reducer, this means I can't fit either a banjo and locknut or an earthing nut.
The Wiska earthing...
I have a hot SWA Gland on a 11kV cable. The cable has a SWA Gland on each end. I was under the belief that this would create a current circuit. There is 3 trefols running in parallel.
Any suggestions
The installation is TT.
The meter box has been moved by the DNO. The tails will now be >3m so I will be fitting a switch fuse. I was planning on removing the DP switch in the switch fuse and replacing with a 100mA S type RCD. I would have put one in place of the main switch in the CU so this...
Hi all,
Just having a chat with a customer who we do regular maintenance work for. They have had an extension and got another company in to do the electrics due to us not having the time. The main reason for the post is the installer has used self tapping screws on all the swa glands. Is there...
