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:

had a customer call to say she had a kitchen fitter in to fit a new cupboard around the boiler and he thinks he may of hit a cable

So after chopping out two layers of tiles and some dot and dab found thisView attachment 100816

He was definitely a good shot, right in the middle every time!!! Though maybe not so much with his hole positioning for fixing!

Speaking of prescribed zones.

Property shows on TV. Awful.
Last nights was “Worst House On The Street” where a developer buys the worst house on the street and does it up a bit….
“Fitting these (sponsored) bath taps can add £thousands to the value….”

No… no it can’t.


So watching through as the naive developer sacks the first lot of builders… goes with more expensive ones, crashing through her budget… (wanted to spend £30k… with a little help from mommy and daddy… blew £78k on it and didn’t even touch the garden)

This scene pops up as they show the progress…

Unless there’s another socket out of shot above that chase, then vertical run isn’t in any prescribed zones.



Edit. I just noticed a cross on the wall beneath the vertical run…. Labelled “coax”
I think they forgot.

I think maybe who ever chased the socket in decided that they should leave room for the coax

Couldn’t do that with an insulated screwdriver.

Nothing a sharp Stanley knife wouldn't fix

I actually have 20meters of so of H07RNF in 4 core that I bought for this reason, but the smallest I could get is 1.5mm, and it's thicker than armoured. You just can't get it into most PIRs.

It is not so common but I am sure I have seen 1mm H07RNF which would be a better match.

I have also used Flexishield 3C+E 1.5mm for that application and it works fine, but a bit more expensive.

At least that is out from AM2

Pretty sure it's already been out for a long while, AM2 just makes it more obvious.

9.3mm outer diameter for 4C 1mm rubber joy.

It was clear i think for conduit wire, but wording not so obvious for multi-core wiring. At least AM2 has made it a simple rule.

you can get 4c and 5c hi-tuff from most whole salers but it i quite expensive

Hmmm.... funny old thing, the memory. Just grabbed the 2008 17th and it was prohibited in singles, not it seems multicores.

My own dodgy pic. Been testing an empty school with a non time delayed 100ma main switch rcd on TT. It was being a right royal pain in the --- so I took it out of the equation, safe me thinks so.

got to love the cost saving of not putting glands in the enclosure!!

Needed shifting to the left so the line conductor isn't so short.

Hob circuit lost power but all mcbs are powered up on main board, then notice the main tails are split

no way don’t say someone’s put another consumer unit behind them units to supply the hob! No access at all

had to cut a big access panel in the side of the new drawer unit and found it

kitchen was only put in a year ago

Thank God for the Multi-Tool

Thank God for the Multi-Tool

Can think how I got on before they were invented
