Help please - Is this acceptable?

A bit bizarre handing out step by step instructions to a DIYer ..

 

[GBDamo]

No problem with this

In fact you could go one step further and run in the cables to the various points and take the legs back to the board

Ready for the sparks to connect up

Youll have the union reps on you for that one.

How will the "Sparks" be able to be sure the cabling has been installed correctly, and sign it off as satisfactory? this is a kitchen.

Pull it out, have a look and pop it back, if he's inclined to do so, I doubt he will be though.

If the job is small and as simple as the OP states then a cooperative, busy Spark would be only to happy to assist in making easier for all.

Some of the miserable old curmudgeons on here are a different story though.

What? in these cut throat days?

True Pete, all those 17l970s strikes for having no bog roll have seriously buggered it up for all that followed.

If you have two fit 2 X 2.5 t+e in say 1500mm of 20 mm conduit as long as the cables are straight then they will fit easily with no lube in sight

Just done that on a job, 20mm conduit straight into boxes, builder dot n dabbed over, plastered, then I cabled ready for 2nd fix.

Good luck getting 25mm conduit into your backboxes.

Yeah, we do have a 'step-by-step guide' rule but his question was specifically about the conduits, not the design of the circuit(s) and it didn't sound like he was about to do anything that needs signing off or anything illegal so I've let it run.

Back boxes often have a 25mm knockout amongst the 20's.
(Wasn't me that resurrected the thread!)

Not in a 25mm box.

I wonder how the OP got on.
Maybe still waiting for the spark to turn up.

No sympathy for anyone who uses 25mm boxes.
