Adding sockets to RFC

[Rpa07]

Has anyone seen that the company SWA makes little reels of sleeving 20 metres of Brown Blue and Green yellow. Genius idea.

Westwood has been the only one mentioning in the past about 2mm sleeving and going up to 4 or 6 mm T+E's CPC, when I see it on an old install it always looks so smart. I've just got to use my 94 metres of 3mm before I get some!​

I spent £5 on some 2mm just to get some peace

Ah it looks so neat though, attention to detail

Thanks LSK. You saved me a trip upstairs to check my old receipts. (Yes, I am that sad, but I still have a folder full of paperwork showing everything I spent on having extension built and place rewire). Yes, spot on, they be the ones.

Does anyone make butt connectors that match UK standard conductor colours?

you mean copper coloured?

That's why the exams are so difficult. Electricians have to be so precise with the terminology! How about the harmonised colours of the conductor sheathing thingy?

crimps are colour coded according to size. red = 1.5mm, blue = 2.5mm, yellow = 6.0mm. suppose theycould do the same as with fire extinguishers and put different colour rings on them, just to confuse us, like the new standard for e/e signs. the door is below the sign, but the arrow says go up.

A down arrow is required when the route from the exit is down a stairwell.

agreed, my point was that with a sign above an exit door, always has been a downward pointing arrow. now it's an upweard pointing arrow, a bit like a road sign. straight on now being up, rather than pointing to the door.

I know it is ridiculous.
