[littlespark]

That's a fairly new Chint board. (checked the spelling there)

 

[Baddegg]

How can you rectify an installation that is unsalvageable?!

Gets to the point where it genuinely would be easier to rip it out and start again.

When u ever I see dire warning not to use a switch I always get a voice in back of my head saying "Switch it switch it switch it"

mild improvement on our behalf won’t lie ? to all haters ties will be swapped to metal Thursday when I’m back, struggled on my own for a day

Are you going to put metal saddles on that conduit.

Are you going to put metal saddles on that conduit.

Going with metal ties and 55mm spits can’t really see the difference imo boxes are plugged and screwed and “saddles” are spat straight into solid brick swapping plastic for coated metal when they arrive combed the regs for a reason why not and can’t find anything that really
Disputes Spits (not to the letter obviously as spits seem to be a dark area for sparkles)

 

[westward10]

But aren't they plastic so a metal tie will make no difference. Screwing the BESA boxes down won't prevent premature collapse.

Fair point...
Fire in a few o band loops... always gets me though how do you secure a metal saddle ? Plastic plug ? How does a plastic plug hold up a metal saddle in worst case scenario? Surely plug melts metal saddle fixing redundant?
