Hi All,
Moving inappropriate ground floor smoke detector installation from hall corner to middle of ceiling.
Original wiring is OMGrade under flooring above (currently lifted); JB (not MF) feeding mains and interlink via even nastier chocbox housing plastic screw connector box. Just about everything that could be wrong is wrong (bar the fact the detector is connected - small consolation)
Big issue with getting this MF: the new detector tails are all of 14cm. About 8cm of movement is needed to withdraw detector to update battery, leaves just 6cm. That's not enough for a Wago JB (MF). I've considered Wago light (smaller, & not MF) but the series 224 connectors won't do (detector tails are stranded). I don't get how I can do this MF.
What do experienced heads suggest?
Get a longer set of tails made up on the detector connector?
Thx
