I remember when you posted this picture.

A good thread ?

only 6 years, hasn't passed the test of time yet, but it might be due an EICR they normally only last 5!

10yrs for domestic as it was then (not sure what it is now) and I doubt they got a completion cert for that anyway, how could they have passed it?

Not a bad job really. At least they cut a gap in the carpet gripper and the carpet would have added an extra layer of insulation. ?

Torque setting = FT

Torque setting = FT

Torque to destruction.

Once I got a CPN brand MCB from CEF, tightened to specified torque and body splitting open. Was not impressed. Also stopped the cable clamp from opening properly if ever re-used.

I admit that each time I use the T-driver I wince at the pressure needed to get the thing to click over, IMO its no wonder they split, although I haven't managed to split a Hager duel RCBO yet, but I think it's only a matter of time.

Yes, I also find the larger screws take more than I would normally use, but the smaller toque settings (around 1.2Nm are not far from my "from experience" tightness).

However, having removed some 4mm with ferrule from fully tightened earth bar screws to re-route stuff they don't look like you could to it often before the punches through the cable

Still, been using some Hager stuff recently and so far no problems at all at the specified torque
