    Crumbly PVC cable (red only)

    Today on an EICR I came across some old (1960's, I think) PVC lighting cable - twin red/black, no earth - where the red was crumbly. It behaved like old perishing rubber, any bending and it cracks - but it is defintely plastic of some sort. The black was perfectly OK, as was the sheath. Curious...

    Tool for 45 and 90 Degree Cuts on PVC Trunking

    I have bought a Mini Mitre Block for some Trunking as the cutters I have are better for Mini Trunking. I’m just looking for something that will allow me to mark the angle before cutting it. I was thinking either a Tri-Square or Trend ANGLEFIX. I then also need some advice on a file to smooth the...

    Long story short I ordered the "wrong" cable.... wanted H6241Y but mistakenly bought H6241B Now, rather than faff with sending it back, I believe I can still use it but want to check with the pros. Its for a domestic lighting circuit that is currently run with live/earth loop to the switches...

    PVC Back Box w/ Multiple Knockouts

    Hi does anybody know of single / double PVC back boxes that have multiple 20mm knockouts like metal clad? Or are plain with no knockouts ? The ones with one 20mm and trunking knockouts don't really work as when cutting the 20mm hole the trunking entry normally splits even when bracing it.

    Difference in scrap price between pvc insulated twin & stripped cable.

    I’ve got a hell of a lot of scrap cable in my garage. I know it would take a long time but is it financially beneficial to strip the cable or does it not make much difference?

    PVC vs Galvanised Conduit: Current Capacity Enclosed In a Thermally Insulating Wall?

    Is there any advantage from the perspective of current ratings/de-ratings of using galvanised round conduit over same size PVC conduit? With both to be chased/buried in brick wall and plastered over? If so, where is this specified? Cheers

    Hi. New to DIY Forum. Home built '83. Main bath has a 1-gang receptacle in a gray pvc box secured to a stud. I want to make this a 2-gang.

    Do I secure an additional 1-gang pvc box to this original 1-gang box or do I have to somehow remove the 1-gang box from the stud and install a new 2-gang box. I'm trying not to destroy the drywall and if I can secure a new 1-gang to the old 1-gang, will the 2-gang wall plate fit ok or will there...

    PVC conduit at ground level external

    Quick one. Is there anything in the regs that state safe zones for external placement of pvc conduit ? I've looked and can't see anything specific. Reason I ask is the installation I'm doing is needing me to run conduit at one brick above damp course.
