Hi guys
New to this forum and thought I’d ask the powers to be on here for some advice.
Basically I’m on a job installing some electrical instruments. The instruments are quite small and have come with the gland body , lock nut and ip washer on the outside . The reason for this is to reduce...
Here is a pic of a sign at my local reservoir, front thereof:
Probably won't be flashing anytime soon...
And here is a pic of the back of that sign, and I would like to know what you call the gland where the big cable exits from the metal post supporting the sign
Thanks in advance!
Anyone know what gland for is needed a MK 32A commando socket to hold a flex ??? Its got a thread for a gland (see pics) I expect its a stuffing gland if using flex but its an odd size.
Its for a commercial single phase oven 16Kw
I'm putting a wireless controller outside. Coming off a spare mcb on protected side. Using 4mm to an isolator then above damp course to outside wiska box to terminate to 4mm swa. My question is I'll be using the earth glands to connect the armour to the cpc but with these attached can you still...

I am putting together some 32A 1phase connections for plugging in a caravan to the house power. I was planning on using SY flex or SWA, from consumer panel to a 32a socket, would that socket need a rotary isolator? I'm thinking yes, it will be on a dedicated MCB, and next to the consumer unit...
Hello, I have 10 spike / LED spot lights to install in my garden and each comes with it's own flexi cable. I have purchased 100 metres of 3 core 1.5 armoured cable. I have been told I must purchase glands and waterproof connector boxes to join armoured cable to flexi cable for each light. I have...
Random Friday night question (tin hat on)... you can do this, right (gland SWA directly into a BESA box)? Splice to singles in the box using Wagos or similar. In terms of mechanical integrity and electrical continuity of the cpc, no different to using couplers etc... (although, different...
Hi,
Have a garage consumer unit supplied from the house CU via a 6mm 2core swa. I noticed this morning the gland entering the garage CU was loose so opened it up to tighten up the gland lock nut. Unfortunately it appears the gland as it enters the garage cu has corroded and brocken away from...
got myself a new timber workshop. The previous workshop already had supply via SWA from house CU.
Iv got new cu for the workshop and appropriate gland kit however I'm unsure what's best practice in terms of getting the SWA into the workshop.
Is it just literally a case of drilling...
I seem to have a run of jobs of upgrading consumer units. Previously I've used 32mm standard stuffing glands for the tails when I have needed to. Although the sealing gland hasn't got specific holes for the tails i find that it seals well.
Anyway I've been looking at the special tails stuffing...
Hi All, Just thought I would run something past the collective wisdom. Recently did a job that involved the conversion of a garage remote from the house to a small habitation space. The old install was supplied from the house via 6mm swa on a 30a BS3036 with the earthing connected to the house...

Has anyone used a plastic stuffing gland to insulate an swa cable entering a consumer unit on a TT installation, I know there are specific insulating glands but just trying to think of any reasons why a suitably sized plastic gland would not be appropriate?
I want to provide a separate earth on...
Hi there

Hi, i would like to make sure i understand this properly.
On a TNS supply, using 3 core SWA to run a sub-main, and using the third core for CPC, where the SWA gland terminates into a plastic enclosure, how is it best to earth the armour?
Am i right that you run a fly lead (the same size CSA...
