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

Beware plumbers!!!.jpg
 
Notching the joints was the plumbers way, and I think electricians back then followed suit, and probably still do to a certain degree, as sometimes needs must.

Brings back memories though of live nails poking out the floor, or the missus shouting up the stairs that there's water dripping from the ceiling.


If that wiring was staying, I would notch some nail plates into the floor board, better than having to junction box the cables just to divert them through some joist weakening holes.
I still have a load of "SafePlates" in a box somewhere....
 
I think some cowboys/ plumbers fitting showers think as long as the live is tight, it’s all good. Neutral isn’t that important, is it??

Always seems to be neutrals… with pull cords as well. And it happens with 7kW as well, but doesn’t make as big a bang as a 10

Wait until everyone’s EV charge points start melting… oh wait, I’ve already had one!

I never had a problem with 50 amp Crabtree pull cords, double terminal screws helps.

Some charge points have very low torque setting for supply cable - astoundingly low and I tend to spend a bit of time getting stranded conductors bedded in before torquing.

Should have tightened that neutral another half turn. :)
