I can't believe i did not think of it sooner

Wago have launched a specific "kit" for doing central heating....

Sounds interesting

 

[telectrix]

think i' got some of them from the freebie jar at elex.

What if the next spark is you ?

theres no way i can work with such poorly identified cables so a full rewire is obviously needed.

Sounds interesting

Think I loaded a thread on the other "board"

Here's the Wago link

Because it is sp and line, no different from a 2 way switch multicore.

Boydy.

 

[Megavolt]

My only gripe is that it makes testing/fault finding in future difficult

BUT I do like what you've done. Very neat. If my memory serves me correctly the "kit" can not be used with multi stranded cables.

The only criticism i have on the OP layout and maybe im been picky but i like to stick to the BS regs ...... the 2 flexes exiting the junction (time-clock and up to top of pic) have not been suitably restrained, they should IMHO use stuffing glands to anchor the flex or the use of mini trunking to stop other trades and users snagging the wires by accident and having pulling forces been applied to the connections, chopping a surface wire under a termination plate like so does not look professional and i would have any apprentice of mine be task to re-do that part again ..... dare i ask about the T&E through the plasterboard hole?

This is all being enclosed inside a kitchen cupboard so should be safe. The t and e is an 'in case' spur as there was talks of a water softenerthat may or may not need power

Sleeving and identifying conductors is hardly the difference between a safe and unsafe installation is it?

So what are you saying you don't? So you don't sleeve anything or just choose not to sleeve heating controls?

 

[electric will]

So sleeving in mains interlinked smokes?

Which cores are you suggesting should be sleeved?

 

[onions1066]

Not the switch as its only 8v just the neutral. If you really wanted to sleeve the switchwire you could use white sleeving

Agree completely, I only sleeve the neutral.

No nothing of the sort, please don't try an make out someone is saying something they are not.

Well at least he didn't use the earth as a phase conductor,unlike the twonk I came across a few years ago that wired several hundred council houses,the guy at the council had a dicky fit when I reported it.

There is no excuse for it. I had a client recently who wanted a light switch changed to metal, i looked at the existing and the earth had been used a strapper so i told them no go and they went mental saying it would be fine etc. Had to walk away evetually

I was not implying that I was merely pointing out in a previous post you said I doesn't make an unsafe installation, so why do you bother doing it?
