    5357 - units and criterea

    i started a new apprenticeship a few weeks ago (5357) As it happens 9 of us (30-35 where enrolled) have level 2. So what they've done is put us 9 into a separate group and we don't have to complete 4 of the units within the course. At first I thought they meant the units at the level 2...

    Chint Consumer Units

    I'm wondering if any of you guys have installed any of the Chint range of consumer units that Screwfix have recently began selling. If so, how was your experience? Any good, or best avoided?

    LED possible strip lighting above worktops (under wall units)

    Hi, more advice required, about LED lighting. I'm so well out of date with these things. An Ashley/Rock HAL 96T batten holder was all that was needed in my time! If you were posh, a fluorescent strip light!. I intend to install LED lighting above the worktops. I looked at a video clip yesterday...

    Lewden RCBO consumer units

    Does anyone have any experience with these ? Have been offered some at a great price but I have no experience of the brand whatsoever. I will probably try one or two out but just wondered if anyone could offer direct experience of these ?

    When to install metal consumer units

    Hi Everyone I am aware that we now have to install metal consumer units in domestic premises now but at what point should we swap a plastic board over to a metal one? The reason I ask is I've been to plenty of jobs where there is a plastic CU with no RCD protection. Ideally I would swap the...

    PAT testing of Handwash units Yes or No

    Having a few thoughts on what should and shouldn't come under PAT testing under the COP 4th Edition. I have no doubt wall heaters screwed to the wall and connected via a flex and FCU should be PAT tested, along with hand dryers, but does the same apply to Handwash units and 5-10litre water...

    Building regs for consumer unit

    We are buying a newbuild property and due to the regulations, we are told the consumer unit needs to go in the dining room (as boxes are on the external wall in that location).

    C2 or C3

    I would value your opinions on this. I did an EICR and found two lights in a bedroom that are florescent lights so class 1 but the lighting circuit is old and does not have an earth. However, the lights are in vanity units, so you cannot touch the units without dismantling the vanity units. As...

    Do I bring up to current regs?

    Hi all, It says that if you install a new circuit you produce an EIC. Is that for the whole installation as well? or just that circuit. As the rest of the install may not pass current regs. Many thanks LH
