Best method for smokies

[NadHuh]

Ok let's try to do this without getting any "Get of you DIYer your not getting any answers from us!" I am not a DIYer.

So I was wondering how people normally connect there smoke alarms,
Do you connect the twin and earths in a junction box.
Or do you use a chock box or do you just get one of those adapter plate that gives you space to put a connector block in.
And which is the best method?

I'll put what I was going to post but I deleted it cus I got the op's mixed up.

I'd put, I relation to Murdoch's post.

well he should know as he was being charged out at £160 an hour yesterday

The wiring is already done in this install as I have said in the previous posts so the electrician who done this obviously run out of 3 core so his used 2 sets of twins and earth! Now can we get back to the question I asked?

i connect the wiring within the pattress extension boxes underneath the smokes.
this is my last , and possibly only , sensible post of the nite.

so the so called electrician who ran out of 3 core should be sacked and replaced by a spark who knows what he's doing. did he run out of earth sleeving , so replace with a bit of tape? run out of screws so a couple of nails will do. FFS. use the right gear for the job or leave it to someone who can.

What's wrong with using two twin and earths for something that needs 3 core or 4 core? Apart from it being expensive?

That's totally ludicrous.....could he not be bothered to go to the wholesaler? It's like me saying, "Ahhh, I've run out of smokes, can't be bothered to go to the shop, I'll just smoke this teabag instead.".

technically , nothing.
just more work , and pointless.
