    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...

    ‘Trendy’ to mount kit on strut for no other reason?

    Am I behind the times here? I’m being urged to mount a whole host of boards, iso’s, meters etc onto unistrut for no good reason (there’s perfectly good wall available and frankly it’ll look awful) because apparently it’s a current trend to do so?? Anyone come across this lately?

    How to shut off 120v baseboard heater?

    I've planned a 20A circuit serving a tiny half-bath in a workshop. The circuit will contain a few LED ceiling lights, a receptacle (not for tools) and a 350 or 400W 120V baseboard heater. So it would not be convenient to shut off the heater via the main panel. When I'm not working during the...

    How do you mount a DC power jack on a wall?

    I have an outdoor CCTV camera that requires 12v DC to be supplied to it. To keep things neat, I've thought about mounting a DC power jack onto a blanking plate on the inside wall that the socket end of a 12v DC power supply can then plug into. Is the above a good idea, or are there better ways...
