Sockets on Skirting

[jackhammerJIM]

Some of the sockets not far from me are 6 foot underwater at the minute, so could be right!

12 foot ! to top or bottom of box mate ? I dont think it matters

Perhaps fit IP rated sockets

Seems rather on the low side of too low .

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 LOL

This is in the UK though, MW. If approved doc M applies it's 15 3/4 inches, although on this job it probably won't apply so the height can be whatever the customer prefers.

Arn't the heights given approximately only, or is it 12 inches to the top middle or bottom of a socket?

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 them

I try to leave a 100mm gap between the washing machine and the tumble dryer and close up the dishwasher on one side, the gap has a white skirting matching panel that the three sockets are on for the three appliance's positioned close to the wall and forms a tray slot, I have a photo on the system somewhere, but can't seem to find it at the moment, will look later and post it.

As always with these things, I could not find the original, so took another:

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).
