    Everything you see i have purchased myself, this gives me complete control to voice my honest opinion about any product
    Just day to day sparky videos
    If you like it, that’s cool, if you don’t, that’s cool as well.
    Remember, context is important, I can’t show/film every part of every test otherwise I’d still be there now😂just assume I’ve carried it out correctly

    As an adult learner your videos are brilliant, thank you 🤝🏻

    A nice tip I always do is put the oval conduit just into the back box (squeeze it with some pliers and it’ll fit a treat). Saves on a grommet and makes it easier to get cables out if ever need to in future.

      I heard that & seen others do that, but I just can’t bring myself to do that…feels wrong 😬

    Great video as always mate, my top tip for installing low level sockets would be save your back and let the apprentice do it 😱😂.
    Your using screws and washers to secure your boxes, I've seen so many just held in with a nail or filler lately that seeing you using screws is like a breath of fresh air 👍.

      I've used non shrinking exterior filler to set boxes...even in dodgy bricks ..dampened first...and there's no way they can be pulled out... Expensive though!!!

      Ah your talking about proper hard setting filler not the el cheapo b & m special, decorators caulk or a bit of plaster. I did some fault finding in a kitchen a while back, 5 double sockets with not a fixing screw between them. Just held in with tile grout.

    Great video, I'm definitely going to use the tip of taking the cables to the corner and adding an inch. Personally, I would rather have the circuit cpc's together to give them the best connection and the bonding cable on its own. Thanks for the tips 👍

    • @bristolsparky
      @bristolsparky  Před 5 měsíci +3

      Always split the CPC’s in case that terminal came loose you don’t loose both CPC’s…it’s a stretch I know but that coupled with years of doing high integrity circuits makes me do it like that

    Neat Job, Can't understand why some people leave no slack, or nail the box in.

    We always endeavour to keep N & CPC separated so as to avoid nuisance tripping. If the N busbar has quite a bit going on elsewhere it takes nothing to trip some RCDs which can cause chaos and make us look a bit stupid.

    Hello mate, have you ever used the armeg box sinking sets, not sure if it’s worth it, can’t imagine it would go through anything but breeze block. Cheers 👍🏽👍🏽

    • @bristolsparky
      @bristolsparky  Před 5 měsíci +1

      I’ve never used it as I’ve heard it only does breeze block well and doesn’t work well on engineering red brick

    • @matthewcollis-long5233
      @matthewcollis-long5233 Před 5 měsíci +1

      We used to use them and they’re great in block but they throw dust around like nobody’s business. They can be very unpredictable in brick so we either stitch drill or use this gentleman’s method with the multi tool.
