Right ... Just been nudged to set this up by Paul.M and sounds a good idea following recent threads I've done in the Arms..

Rules....No Offensive material... edit if required before posting as this is the public arena.
Anything to do with the trade or in and around it ...H&S pic's welcome.



I've posted this a few times and this is at a mates house following a kitchen refirb several yrs ago. mg_smile:

It looks awful

But, if you are wiring the replacement boiler, and need to get a cable from the switchfuse and the programmer to the boiler how else would you do it?

I'm speaking as someone who has had to do similar due to lack of available time/spare tiles/budget

 

[Leesparkykent]

You are kidding me!!!

condense and gas are just as bad lol

Edit: note the condense even runs uphill haha

 

[davesparks]

Presumably the boiler was on the left originally?

Is there any bracket holding that flue?

no bracket holding the flue...yeah boilers been swung round for some reason and flue is proud of the front of the cupboards so can't have a decent looking cupboard to cover it up.

 

[davesparks]

I think you'll find that flue is non compliant then!
Presumably it was moved so that it can be fitted into a cupboard, but the plumber couldn't be bothered to drill a new hole got the flue so used the old one!

it was still in use, on rewireable fuse, my job there was to prepare new electrics for new kitchen.
is no more now, chopped off the first day.

 

[stevethesparks]

A kitchen extension I was doing at the beginning of the year.
The plumber thought it would be a good idea to mount his pipes dead in front of my box.


He then decided that he's pipes were more important than my cabling

And to top it all, my carefully measured down light positions were ignored and again my cabling totally ignored.

After having a word with the house owner, a new plumber was employed and pipes re-installed.

Came across a garden lighting install today with a few issues. How about this for an easy way to terminate the SWA, saves all that messing about with metal boxes and banjos or piranhas!

Is that an armoured ? Lol

 

[SJD]

Is that an armoured ? Lol

Yes, I had to check, you can see all the cut-off steel just below the plug.

The other end is just as neat, cut-off steel again, and bare inner wires (the inner sheath removed) to light fitting, open to the elements and any passing wildlife that fancies chewing them.

Is that a 1mm from the top of the socket ?

 

[SJD]

Is that a 1mm from the top of the socket ?

Yes, the socket is wired in 1mm 3-core and earth ..., oh and it's a spur off a spur on a 30A fused RFC ...

 

[Dave OCD]

That sounds fairly typical,seen 1mm 3 core/earth used fairly often for sockets , is it because it's similar to 2.5mm in external dimensions to the DIY 'experts'. :icon12:
