[malcolmsanford]

can't remember. it was on a post somewhere. maybe the member who said it was thinking of accessibility. i can't see anything wrong with them.

No of the same opinion mate, are you sure it's not the fact that your getting past all this electrikery

 

[telectrix]

getting past it, full stop mate. considering a career change. brain surgery seems a good earner.

less amendments and no provision for rcds

 

[telectrix]

and dead men can't complain

its cause they dont have wire grips to hold the wires in place. I think the regs say cord grips.

 

[saabuldin]

you should have gone to elex they had them on special offer , if they are approved for use in air craft then they are ok for me , i shall be trying out the din rail mount ones when i do a CDU relocation , hardly ever use crimps or terminal block nowadays they are just a superb invention

I went to the elex show but must of missed the wagos. oh well

its junction boxes that have not got clamps are the ones i think you mean any junction box or connection box is required to have strain relif for the cables if not permernantly fixed and the cables clipped for the full length, i cant remember which reg no it is , this is the reason 17th jb's came out , wagos and wago boxes are the answer , cant be 100% on this ill try and find the reg for it

[Phil]

if so you have to pull the levers right back so they are fully up pop in the cable and push back down.

i did the same tbh. it felt like it had gone far enough an i didn`t want to be heavy and break it.they take some pressure though for a skinny bit of plaggy

Opening a can of worms here guys. Question is do you want to comply with the regulations? Click 100? Yes, looks good BUT no cable restariant therefore a NO NO! See more details on other boxes on
COMPARISON TABLE
There actually arent many that will comply!!
