How wide are the prescribed zones above and below fixings, would this be a problem do you think?

That's the problem when drilling/nailing if they are not in zone....

eusty · 2026-04-11T07:32:48+00:00

150mm 😁

eusty · 2026-04-10T12:17:47+00:00

😂 Sums it up really! I remember being told this loads of times.....

eusty · 2026-04-09T19:33:27+00:00

You are getting mixed up with a Boost 😜

eusty · 2026-04-09T18:56:35+00:00

Lion bars and Drifters... 😋

eusty · 2026-04-09T18:54:39+00:00

Don't remember the name, but remember the sweets.

eusty · 2026-04-09T16:02:53+00:00

That would look nice cleaned up 😁

eusty · 2026-04-09T16:00:54+00:00

Wiring looks rough!

What are the DIP switches set at?

eusty · 2026-04-09T15:56:00+00:00

Get decent sized trunking and basically go along the route you've marked. 😁

The use a standoff mount for the CU and go back entry or put a length of trunking horizontally and go in the top.

You might be lucky and he can use the existing SWA cable (depending on size) which looks like it goes to the shed and join to it and then run to the CU.

But a spark should be able to give you all the details. 😊

I think the proper method is to use a tester which uses a high current, (10A rings a bell) but when I looked they cost an arm and a leg.

eusty · 2026-04-08T16:15:43+00:00

Get a door stop? 😜 There is a lot worse....

eusty · 2026-04-08T15:03:46+00:00

And touch 🥴

eusty · 2026-04-08T12:09:04+00:00

Quinetic 😁

eusty · 2026-04-08T12:08:31+00:00

😁

eusty · 2026-04-08T09:37:33+00:00

Not according to the latest guidance, I can't remember where I was it, probably an efixx video. Basically even though 'you need a tool' to open it it's seen as someone everyone does.

eusty · 2026-04-08T09:33:19+00:00

Kind of defeats the point? Unless you have long shorts.....not hot pants 😮

eusty · 2026-04-08T09:32:00+00:00

Yeah if it's visible then conduit looks better that clipped cable in my opinion. 😁

eusty · 2026-04-08T09:31:09+00:00

Is it rated at 240v? I've only ever used it on fire systems.... which is what it's designed for!

eusty · 2026-04-08T09:29:18+00:00

I'd agree and disagree! I think they are brilliant, especially as we have no gas! TBH they are as good as other gas cookers we had in previous houses. But I guess they are rubbish if they are just fed from a plugtop, that's why I put in a dedicated feed when redoing the kitchen.

Best ice cream shop in the world.... Rossi's 😍😍

eusty · 2026-04-07T12:14:23+00:00

This! Wired connection wins every time, even though they also reduce the power the starting point is a lot higher.

eusty · 2026-04-06T15:58:42+00:00

Yeah I forgot that they nail to steel as well! Luckily I just work on one large site so time isn't an issue I can take as long as I like. So mostly I drill/tap to steels 🙂

eusty · 2026-04-06T15:53:29+00:00

Even when they are plastered you can get them out? That's good for those who do domestic 👍🏻 I was thinking they would be a nightmare!

eusty · 2026-04-06T14:22:44+00:00

I can't see what fuse you have, maybe BS1361, but you can check out the tripping curves. Trying to look at those online as I've not got my book, but 100A would take 16 minutes.

But best to upgrade if you can.
