Suspended ceilings are classed as an enclosure, aren't they........? And it seems standard T&E clips are rated for prevention of premature collapse during a fire, especially when the fire barrier has been smashed up!

Suspended ceilings have always been the best place to hide the worst workmanship!!

According to the landlord I’m too thorough.

Data monkeys seem to use them for archery practise.

Wagos are great but I've heard many people say "they are enclosed so don't need an enclosure". But its better than connector blocks wrapped in tape that used to be the norm before I guess!

Saw some similar junctions recently. Why worry about fireproof enclosures or connectors, when you can use plastic and not need to worry about screwing on a lid.

Conductors don't appear as though they were ever pushed into that box.

That looks like fp200 fire alarm monkey cable.

12, maybe 24v. Untidy, but dangerous?

At least they used IP rated glands

Connector blocks wrapped in tape was always the best way for someone to bodge up a job so they could finish early on a Friday (or any other day)

people that don’t care about the quality of their work and are only interested in the payment will always cut corners like that. Wago‘s have just made it a bit easier for that type of person to just “make it work“ so they can go home early

Are you going to re use the tape!!!

Galv enclosure and porcelain connectors might be worth investing in. Not much point in using FP cable with joints that'll be gone quicker than the guy who fitted them.

Skipping ropes.

Power to a garage CU, from a plug, using SWA.…

At least they used a RCD socket. I’m guessing the blood on the reset is where they cut a finger on the exposed armour!

 

[freddo]

Everything in that photo is a complete mess!

Yes, not wiping the blood off is a psss poor show.

"Just need new circuit for induction hob and new kitchen ring 1st fixing"

I think it was originally dual RCD and they have since been removed. The Neutral bar links are creative:

Not dodgy work but, has anyone seen green goo in lighting wire?

 

[westward10]

Seen it plenty of times in modular fittings.

 

[bill01803]

Found this the other day, the whole place is wired in it.

 

[ipf]

Seen it plenty of times, most recently all the lighting system in a small steel foundry plant.
YY oh Why???
