Sorry about that!!!

So, if you want to re-upload your pics then great, if not, give us something new!


Cheers!!

thnkyou for the grown up debate darkwood.

I agree with the sentiment of your post, and the standard of which you are promoting, i just dont think 514.1.2 asks for it, and with the old system a simple domestic fuseboard with no cable markers would or should have attracted a code 4. i think i will just agree to disagree with you. And i have no pictures to show :smiley2:

We see each others side that i agree and on that note Id agree to disagree as i see we both hold strong slightly differing opinions that arises from the often debated topic of regulation interpretation - at the end of the day it aint going to burn the house down and anyone in the board should be competent to be there so minimal risk to health if they know their job, as for me I routinely ID all cables in DB's regardless of requirements and nature of the building .....probably a trait of my panel building where ID is essential.

Your Sherlock skills need a polish Eng54 ... you can follow the cores up to the top 3 mcb's like I'd do that anyway lol

Tel ? Bit obvious that dark. Think he's referring to the markings on the swa's, even if they are a mixture of old and new colours.lol.

Yep got Tels post i just read on another thread in my head lol... tape is random marking as they all come out of floor same place its a highly technical ID system

Outside compactor unit and one db

 

[Stroppy]

Not my install, but I found this novelty clothes rack made of 20mm conduit parts in the attic of a house!

Some of the joints weren't brilliant....

 

[Robotstar5]

Could be a market for them?, you can even flat-pack them for posting.

 

[High Tower]

Fair play, whoever did it was a dab hand!

 

[Bobster]

Whilst I was an appretice we had to make a sledge out of a single length of conduit as an assessment peice.

That I'd have like to see!

 

[Badged01]

I'm no conduit king but a sledge out of one piece of conduit! Top respect to you if it worked :smiley2:

 

[Bobster]

It was noting fancy, it did take a few go's to make it.

I would probably have a few scrap lengths if I tried again!

I'm fairly sure that I couldn't do it!

 

[Badged01]

I know for sure I couldn't, I struggle with a running coupler!

I'd of made a 'mono-sledge'!!

 

[High Tower]

I know for sure I couldn't, I struggle with a running coupler!

I can hold my own with sets and bends etc but I'm far from being able to bend a bike frame lol

 

[Engineer54]

I'm fairly sure that I couldn't do it!

I'm bloody sure no-one could do it, damn impossible from a bending a single length of conduit!!

Very nice. How did you earth swa

 

[Darkwood]

May i ask out of interest why you TT the garage as oppose to extending the tncs .. not trying to catch you out here just its rarely needed , other than that very neat first impressions.

 

[rich.250]

Future provision of water service in the next few months. And also meant I could re use that 4mm 4core in parallel sheath as earth.

 

[rich.250]

Very nice. How did you earth swa
