Thanks Brian, much appreciated 👍. Would be nice to see what they look like, I rarely get to see jobs like that after dark though!

Good video, nice explanations - the only thing is that there should be 2 locknuts when armouring in a plastic enclosure…

@moss_electrical_and_plumbing Год назад

Thanks for taking the time to comment 👍Not heard that before, what’s the reason?

@uplightuk8924 Год назад

@@moss_electrical_and_plumbing There’s no reason because it’s complete bollocks

@peterigrenyi9176 9 месяцев назад

Pretty decent. But certainly wouldnt put single insulated conductors box to box like that without bushing it...

@moss_electrical_and_plumbing 9 месяцев назад

What would a bush do?

@peterigrenyi9176 9 месяцев назад

@moss_electrical_and_plumbing u have a gap between boxes therefore Single insulated cable unprotected between boxes. Bush would be like a condit. Although personally, I would ut s coupler between boxes. No way I'd do it like that

@moss_electrical_and_plumbing 9 месяцев назад

There was no gap between the boxes, they are butted up to each other and sealed.

@peterigrenyi9176 9 месяцев назад

@moss_electrical_and_plumbing well still. Between enclosures... I just wouldn't. Same way I wouldn't do that between two patress boxes. Use double insulated cable, coupler, or Bush.

@SuperGP1000 Год назад

is the original double socket a spur? if yes, the feed should go to the FCU then fused output connect to the double sockets and new extension, otherwise fused spur on a unfused spur may not be a good idea

@moss_electrical_and_plumbing Год назад

The existing socket was a 4mm radial circuit. You are correct though, if it was a spur from say a ring circuit then the method of wiring for the new socket & FCU would be slightly different 👍

Enjoyed the video some good tips ! The milwaukee drill you used looks great nice and slim can you tell me model please ?

@moss_electrical_and_plumbing Год назад

@Alex-wz4op Год назад

sorry if i missed it in the video but how did you make sure no water will run down the middle and into the SFP and your double socket?

@moss_electrical_and_plumbing Год назад

Hi Alex, silicone between the 2 of them. I might not have shown it in the video 👍

@sharoztube 11 месяцев назад

Hi, I came across this video and its what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I've subscribed to the channel, because it very informative. I understand almost all of it except one aspect, and would appreciate if someone could please help. In the last segment 'Socket' where you put SWA socket to the left of the 2G socket, where does the Earth cable from the SWA gland go? I can see that you take the feed (L & N) and Earth from 2 gang socket on the right. The 3 core SWA cable has its own Earth plus Earth from the Steel Wire. Is the Earth from Gland combined with the Earth (1 of 3 cores) and then connected to the adjacent box? Thanks in advance.

@moss_electrical_and_plumbing 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for leaving a comment, and a big thank you for subscribing! 😁 The Earth from the SWA is terminated with the Earth in the cable in one of the socket terminals 👍

@sharoztube 11 месяцев назад

@@moss_electrical_and_plumbing Thanks, got it. So, I just combine (join) the Earth cable (1 of 3 cores) with the Steel Armour. And repeat at the other end. (I hope I understand you correctly. Cheers!

@muso31 11 месяцев назад

I think what moss is saying is that in the earth from the gland and SWA enter into the socket earth to terminate them. At the CU end both of these earth's will be connected to the earth terminal bar
