No

Some will say it is fine but I will always comment on it.

 

[Pete999]

No

Not in my book anyway

Those good old well made terminals with 2 screws .................. I wish they would still make them like that.

Not sure I would even comment, unless there is signs of over load or thermal damage.

Wonder what the Napit £9.99 guide says?

 

[Pete999]

No

What's the reason Murdoch?

Reason for what? Disagreeing with you?

 

[buzzlightyear]

them isolator terminal is designed for 25mm 16 mm not 50mm .

The red possibly shows signs of excess heat to the copper.

 

[Octopus]

Wonder where the end set of tails go ............

Yes I suppose so but don't make it so confrontational, just why you disagree with my answer.

Post #5 are my thoughts!

That's it is it?

Probably because the bottom screw is not securing much. It looks a long way in compared to the others.

How far away is the other cu?

 

[The Ghost]

What is the total potential load from those terminals. You could always C3 it? Is the supply cable capable of taking both the CU loads? I might ask the manufacturer as to their views.
EDIT: I imagine with the current idea that those very terminations done poorly are the cause of fire it is not the best solution there are better ways of doing the supply to two consumer units.

 

[Octopus]

That's it is it?

Yup ..... I take it you disagree with me!

 

[Cadgey123]

There is probably as much argument for as against. I wouldn’t do it personally.

1 view is that if the connection is decent with the two screw terminals why not?

On the other hand it doesn’t take much to stick a set of Henley blocks in?

That has been done by an individual with very limited skills.
