Hi guys
This may sound a strange request but the light switch in the garage in our new house is in a stupid position, hidden behind racking and nowhere near the door, so we really struggle to reach to it.
At some stage we will move it but we've got loads of other work to do in the house so I'm...
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...
Fellow Sparks,
My sister has asked me to install a spur socket in her home.
I'm going to install a surface mounted box and run the cable via trunking from an existing socket.
Is there any sort of surface box which I can install over the existing socket box which has been embedded in the...
hi
i've bought a hager st303 din rail mounted door bell transformer and a 2 module wylex ESE2 enclosure for it to fit in. i was going to run this off a 3A FCU.
i can't see any earth connection on the transformer from the photo - it haasn't arrived yet - and there's nothing to earth in the...
Has anyone fitted these into an Invicta 3 Type B board?
Wholesaler asked Hager whom stated they need to go into a separate enclosure, but couldn't elaborate on why. My preference is to mount them in the DB under the corresponding RCBOs and I cannot see from the spec sheet and photo why this...
Hi all. Some advice sought.
I have 2 lights under my cabinets they plug into the wall sockets below them.
I now want to hardwire the lights as i got a new cooker hood fitted and the spark pulled the power cable out so its now accessible to use. Previously it was hidden. So it looks like a...
Hoping someone can help me clarify something.
For plastic surface mounted back boxes, why do some have a small metal terminal for connecting the CPC, whereas others don't? Is it just a differemce in quality, or would you generally use the ones with the terminal for sockets, and the ones without...
I am not a electricion but are competetent in doing these jobs .if I change an ordinary wall mounted socket in my French house ,do I have to get it signed off
As in title, can a tubular heater be mounted vertically? Doesn't sound like a good idea to me, but it would settle an argument if some one could answer.
We're looking to have some uplights installed across the side of our property, I've purchased a few of these:

Hi there I'm new to the forum, Just wondering if someone could please take a look at the pic attached (hopefully) and tell me in what circumstances it is best practice to wire two 1-gang sockets side by side like this with a set of T&E going to each.
I'm not an electrician but was in the...
Change a 1 gang 1 way light switch for PIR from RS. Customer the idea that it had a lux meter on it and also a manual override just like a regular switch.
However upon fitting I can only say it's the most sensitive thing I've ever fitted. Followed the set up and lux levels etc but when screwing...
greetings :)
I’m taking a spur from a ring final.
A fused connection unit will be controlling the spur.
FCU will be mounted on a metal backbox flush in a brick wall.
I’m planning on using a junction box to break into the RFC, and taking the spur cable to the FCU.
My question is, do both cables...
I know we've joked before about mounting sockets upside down when fitted to skirting boards to avoid flex being squished, but I came across a double socket mounted clockwise at 90 degrees at a friends house.
This is behind a fridge, and feeds the fridge, and the microwave that sits on top...
seems i cant turn on the youtubes to watch people fall from ladders without being bombarded with feminist videos moaning about how men arent chivalrous , i fail to see what a system mainly to do with ancient combat has to do with the 21st century
do women really want men to return to horseback...
Hi Lads and Ladies (SC!),
I should have took a pic - I thought I did...:confused:
I'm after an oversized 4-gang socket with pattress. It is an surge-protected type, which I'm aware don't always apparently work as they should in relation to surges.
The faulty item in question is a massively...
I thought I'd post on here to see if anyone has any reccomendations for an outside speaker.
The job is for a small local Cinema,at the moment they have a large 50" TV playing trailers in a window which faces the street outside.
They would like to mount a speaker on the front of the building so...
hi, first time here, and not an electrician, but hopefully someone might be able to help.
Our electrician installed some outside wiring on a terrace a few years ago, terminating the cables in IP66 junction boxes so that we could put some lights in at a later date. That time has now come and I...
Guys, i have a customer who wants 4 16A 110V sockets on a wall.
These are to be used for charging scissor lifts, so likely for all 4 to be plugged in at end of the day and on for many hours, so would be looking at the continuous rating on the transformers.
Im not actually sure how much power...
