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:

The room did not border an external wall, so the solution for the fan? :biggrin:

Loving this thread. Quickly understanding why electricians have jack all good to say about plumbers.

Maybe because they they get it wrong so many times...

I built a control panel 2.1m tall, exactly according to design. it was installed exactly as designed as were loads of other services.
Plumber [except we decided he wanted a posher name - pipe fitter] came along and decided his 4" pipe would be better in a different place to the design and cut 6" off the top of the panel doors and some of the top. Panel had a fairly big 3ph supply ~800A, the swarf knocked out 2 of the supply fuses but he carried on and fitted his pipe.

That looks like a challenge to rectify I enjoy jobs like that far easier to Rip out and start again

What the heck is that , it looks like the crate I chuck all my off cuts in...

that surely can’t be an existing in use installation ?

Seriously what the F%$£. Did you chew the enclosure in anger?

Bloody ell @darkwood , you started this thread in 2015!

I love it when you can see multiple installation methods in one example.
In case the pic isn't clear, we have SWA in corrugated conduit, exposed, from the ground up to about 2m, then it's cemented in for a bit, then it emerges and is sort-of cleated for the rest of the run.

Someone came back to fix the cabling and realised he'd forgotten his tall ladder?

Not as daft as it looks at first.
Above 2m someone's decided it can be surface mounted. Below that they wanted it buried. So they've used conduit (good), and cemented that into a channel. It looks a lot like the bottom of the render has fallen off the wall - so that could have taken the cement covering over the conduit with it when it fell off.

Whoever did it was so proud that they signed their name next to it.

A regular site around here. This one is particularly bad.

Terrible paint job that ...

seal fairy gone to the pub?

It would be interesting to see the risk assessment done before they mandated putting millions of electrical installations outside and exposed to the weather. Of course they'll have done one of those ... won't they ?
