cu change

[Peter Woodford]

just wanted to check a few things

woman wants her cu changed and moved am i right in saying the new tails into cu can only go up to 3 metres. Also the cables will need extending is this ok to crimp and but in trunking up wall as woman wants cu moved up at high level in hallway.

cheers

tail length varies from dno usually 2 to 3 metres then you would need to fit fused isolator in, crimping cables is fine for extending, just heatshrink when crimped.

Just out of interest.. what type of crimp would you use?

I wouldnt crimp cables if exteding them beyond 3 metres as you require an Isolator anyway so just extend them from there

Part M?

I know it depends on referb / new build. I also know there's abit of a divide of opinion with people saying it's not safe to have where children can reach.

Just thought I'd throw it in.
