Please excuse the basic question, I am rewiring an FCU for a washing machine, adding a socket to the FCU output to plug the washing machine into rather than wiring the washing machine directly into the FCU without a plug.
Just want to check that it is ok to wire both circuit wires back into the...
Hi All,
Just looking for some reassurance on a job I've looked at today. My status is that I am trying to stay within the realms of 'Minor Works' until I get a bit of experience under my belt. Conscientious decision - but everywhere I go it seems that notifiable work is needed as well...
Hi
I'd like to swap a 13a fused spur for a single 13a socket as we're never going to put a fireplace in and just want to have less wire clutter.
I've swapped sockets over before without an issue but what's confused me here is that there are 2 sets of wires going into the socket (see picture)...
Hi guys,
Just an initial heads up, I’m just level 2 qualified, so go easy on me.
I’m currently adding some sockets in my house. So I thought I’d break the ring, extend it and add them in.
Took the back off a socket and it only had one cable going into it, so presumed it was a radial. I’ve...
like unicorns, I have seen pictures of these, but cant seem to find a distributor.
can anyone assist ?
at present there is a double socket in place with limited space around it so looking for a combined unit.
I know I can change the back box and put two single units in its place, but saw a few...
I have a socket which is connected off the main circuit ring.
Just wanted to know if it's possible to add another socket spurring off this second socket?
(Please see attached image.)
If it's against regulations, then
1) what's the worst that could happen? (Will my circuits blow up?)
2)...
Hi,
I am trying to find a fused spur that is as small as possible. I'm not sure of the correct wording but it needs to be smaller than a single gang back box.
To explain what i am trying to achieve, i need to cut the plug off a flex that connects to a small transformer for an POE injector. As...
Hi all,
I have been asked to install a spur for a Macerator in an existing bathroom. At present the bathroom has an electric shower and that's it, there are no sockets near or in the bathroom.
I was thinking to drop a feed from an RCD protected FCU from the lighting circuit in the loft to...
Hi - I'm planning to fit an extractor with timer to a bathroom, switching on with the lights and had bought a fan isolator switch, but reading the Manrose instructions they insist on double pole fused spur with 3A fuse.
I think it will be easiest to fit a switched fuse spur and not bother with...
Tested an RCD spur earlier with some odd results
Tested at x 1/2 (both waveforms) and no trip
x 1 (0 degrees = 28.5 ms), (180 degrees = 18.4 ms)
x 5 (0 degrees = 8.2 ms), (180 degrees = 40 ms)
S0 getting bang on 40ms at x5 on 180 waveform; i know its in...
Evening all, go gentle on my for my first post ;)
I purchased a property in January, and we have planned to fit a downstairs toilet. Upon further inspection I believe that it appears that the DNO have fitted a 'newer' (I say newer as it's not new given that I had the old fuses removed from my...
What would the code be on a spur flex outlet, that has the cap missing for where the flex should be? Looks like flex outlet for appliance isn't required and been removed, there fore cap has gone missing.
Picking up reports with it down as C2 and C3.
Any thoughts?
I am planning a new layout for our utility room and would appreciate some advice. We have three appliances (washer, dryer and freezer) that will sit under a worktop directly below the window. My intention is to feed this equipment via a row of three 13A fused spur switchplates located inside a...
hello I've seen the page at the back of the regs book but nothing explains can you -
Have a spured socket off the ring using one cable and then put a fused spur after the spur and then feed additional sockets after the spir
Have been asked to install a little smart camera from nest for a couple. It needs to go on the soffit covering the side of house by the shed/greenhouse as they have had issues with local teens being little gits.. High enough to cover drive approaching and actual shed but not so low the teens can...
