    Pyro Clamps.

    Got a job to do soon where sub mains x2 have been run to a flat in pyro. Earth via sheath. No gland fitted - just the pot with a BS951 clamp. Suspect it’s all imperial size and tight to access, so not planning to mess about with it too much. Do these pyro clamps actually exist? Can anyone...

    Imperial gland - thread size?

    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...

    Imperial pyro advice

    Can anyone identify what this is and what its current carrying capacity should be? Being a sprightly 41 imperial sizes aren't my thing and I can't find anything on the net. 2 core pyro about 13mm diameter, gland marked 465, seems to be about 10mm-ish equivalent. Backstory if you want it is...

    Pyro

    Morning guys, bit of nostalgia for you vets. Wiring up an MOT bay, went to see the excavation so we can draw up the plan, they pulled some pyro out that was buried 1.5m deep, and was amongst a news paper that had a 1970's date on it. Gave it a whirl on the tester for banter, still returning...

Stunned to see the meter connected to the existing fuse box by 2 core pyro using the bare sheath as the earth conductor. Was this common practice in the 70s and did it comply back then or even now? The supply is...
