    Where to put unused neutral wire for light switch

    Howdy DIY soldiers, first post here. My question comes down to whether it would be particularly unsafe for me to temporarily wire nut and tape a neutral wire connected to an active knob and tube circuit and leave it in a wall behind a plastic box. I know that the "correct" answer per the NEC...

    Safe approach to burying an unused T&E?

    As title suggests, I've removed what a T&E has been used for, so it's now just a live cable. I've terminated it and boxed it (for now), but this needs burying and skimming over. I think the right way according to regs is to trace it back, make sure it's dead then pull the cable out of the wall...

    Can I join 6mm and 2.5mm cable in radial circuit

    Hi all, I’m new to this forum so please bear with me. I live in a bungalow and would like to repurpose an unused shower cable to supply one new double socket. The radial shower circuit cable is 6mm and protected by a 40A mcb. My plan is to connect the 6mm cable to a length of 2.5mm cable which...

    Free ESWA heating mats to give away- excess from old project. New, unused

    I have some ESWA heating mats to give away to anyone that can use them. I had them for a project in 2003 which didn't need them in the end, and they've been stored in a dry place ever since. They are completely unused, and free to a good home. Mats only, no thermostat. You pay the postage

    Unused SWA

    What is the regs on terminating unused cable or even cores of an SWA cable. I know sometimes we can’t remove the cable completely sometimes due to being impractical.

    Unused conductors in trunking

    The client has decided that redundant circuits, created by us by decommissioning obsolete equipment, should be, in the first instance, removed completely. If this can be shown to be unsafe, cutting back a metre at each end would suffice. I seem to remember a regulation that unused conductors in...

    Supply loft light from unused shower cable

    I was asked a question today if it would be possible to use an existing cable that was previously installed to supply a shower which has been taken out (6mm T+E) to feed a light in the loft. Initially I said no it wasn’t good practice to do this, but now I’m thinking as-long as the MCB is...

    Unused new combi boiler bought 6 years ago but not plumbed in.

    Confirmation of Hive Wiring

    Just swapped a Danfoss RX1 for a Hive v2. I initially thought I would just put the wiring into the same place, easy enough. Didn't work. I notice the terminal allocation is different between the two: Danfoss: N - L - 1 (unused) - 2 (COM) - 3 (ON) - 4 (OFF) Hive: N - L - 1 (COM) - 2 (OFF) - 3...

    Extending cat 5 cable or telephone cable and maintenance free requirements?

    I was wondering if the maintenance free requirements (MF) are the same with communication cable as with low voltage supplies? I can't see why they wouldn't be. The junction boxes for cat 5 cable or telephone cable where you just use the insertion tool have no screws that could come loose but I...

    Filling in old unused socket holes (with wiring)
