Torque to destruction.

I suppose it make's a change from talked to death, which I know some women can do, but not my wonderful beautiful wife, yes she does look in sometimes. ?

Obvious even from the top due to the breaker being pushed out of line.

Well, he was right about the Wylex one

 

[telectrix]

i stand corrected. it's part BG part wylex. even so, can't blame BG for bad workmanship.

Opened this lovely Dornan Smith install this week - nice free-air tails rubbing against a sharp edge - and in an under stair cupboard where disturbance was likely.




Fortunately was only removing a circuit to change it to an adjacent RCD board, but couldn't in good conscience leave it like that - managed to get some good thick grommet strip in without needing to call on the fairy. No grommets on any of the inlets either, though with some there were so many cables jammed in there that they weren't likely to move...

Anyone able to age the board? Appeared to be BS 3871 Type 3 MCBs (though might just be a badly printed B)

Twice I've had shocks from those exposed Dorman Smith busbars!
