    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...

    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...

    Maintenance Free 32A Junction Box

    I've been looking at the Wagobox, specifically the 221-4 box, and noticed that it is only classed as maintenance free if the current is 20A or less (derating factor applied to the 32A capacity of the Wago 221 Series 4 connectors) and has a tie-wrap fitted. Do you know of any Wago maintenance...

    Just removing the sheath on a ring main cable in a 3 terminal junction box.

    Over the years as a DIY-er I've used the old brown 30A circular junction boxes to add spurs to ring mains. I like them as they are strong, secure and visible. I've ALWAYS followed the rules on domestic electricity . Until earlier this year I've been able to check with a cousin who's a...
