Perhaps fit IP rated sockets
It is Jack I should have said 12 inches. It’s sad but we just never did go with the metric system in school. All I know is 25.4 mm equals 1 inch LOLSeems rather on the low side of too low .

Mike to my knowledge we don’t have a requirement on height for sockets except new this year on Washing machines and dryers. We have to install the sockets above them so you don’t have to move them to unplug themArn't the heights given approximately only, or is it 12 inches to the top middle or bottom of a socket?
me neither. when i went to school, we used metric system (MKS) in Science classes, but in wood work/metalwork/ etc. it was inches. our teacher was ex-RAF WWII Hurricane pilot. who said meters are for putting shillings in (nickels in USA).It is Jack I should have said 12 inches.

Yes but that's when used separately to a whole inch no ?divide by 10 again and you get thousanths. used to be the univerasl base for engineerong, and still is when reboring engine blocks. ( as in bore out by 30 thou, and fit 30 thou oversize pistons).
yes, but seeing those figures, i can visualise the size immediately. if they were in mm, i'd need to get out a dual reading tape measure and read off from mm to inches.Yes but that's when used separately to a whole inch no ?
It's things like this that make no sense to me. These are the dimensions of a 13" macbook, taken from Apple's website.
Height: 0.59 inches.... finger thick
Width: 11.97 inches.....just under my size 9's
Depth: 8.36 inches..... length of my .... hand.
Weight: 3.02 pounds...mega burger with chips.
Screen size: 13.3 inches

Come on Andy and cut us some slack. All Americans are not a QUEER bunch and so we use decimal system. Don’t hate all Americans because I look up to y’all and nobody ever said we was perfect. Different countries different ways of doing things. im quoting your word WTF, that was uncalled for.True. I think my point is if you like dividing things into tenths there's an almost universal system that already exists rather than taking a unit traditionally divided into 4,8,16,32,64 bits and chopping it into ten.
It's almost as if using a decimal system makes much more sense. Queer bunch those Americans.

It’s all good my friend. I just got home from working all day and seen that. I personally don’t like the way Americans do different things and speaking of decimal system when I took my test for my masters license and doing calculation questions we better know the decimal system but if it’s 8.56 you just round it up to 9 if it were 8.49 you would round it off as 8I think my jokey remark may have been taken a little too seriously. A lot can get lost in translation over the internet and between cultures though. I meant no offence.
