Love it mate, great neat chasing! Bolster and hammer days are long gone!
Also glad I’m bi the only one that sometimes struggles with Oval on rings. Sometimes it goes smooth as anything and others it’s a pain! Another quality video mate 👌🏻👍🏻
Those ferrule crimp tools are great what you used on the earth wire for the box. I bought a six sided one and a load of insulated and non-insulated ferrules. They make wiring stranded cables so much better. Years ago I used to tin the ends of stranded wire with a soldering iron until someone told me of the dangers. Recommend everyone should have one in their toolbox.
Really liking how neat and professional you are doing these chases. Definitely picking up some tips here. Well done matey
Glad to have found this channel. Currently doing my level 3 Electrical Installations in college but unfortunately no apprenticeship. Will definitely be watching your videos to give me some knowledge!
Did you made it in electrical industry?
@@ionelinzona unfortunately not. I completed my qualification and struggled for 5 months until I found and now finishing a welding apprenticeship for a national company working across the UK. I love it.
Meant to reply to you ages ago regarding the wall chaser.
I got the same, and by the looks, the same hoover. "but it's not makita" others say... Try taking a makita bit of kit back to screwfix after 729 days!!
Reading some of the comments on here, and I just wonder how perfect some of the individuals, (leaving their opinions on here) actually are!
You are a grafter, a studiously dedicated individual who works with a passion.
Good to see that. Keep it up good chap.
The thrill of the chase.
Herein you are exposing the difficulty with using capping as opposed to using conduit when chasing is necessary. With conduit of the appropriate size, you ca either pull cables or just conductors through and if necessary they can be easily removed and new ones pulled.
Nice use of the Bootlaces mate. (Ferrules) shows that extra professionalism.
Andy Kirwan thanks for watching the whole video.
Really like these sorts of videos please do more offen
Btw do you not secure the conduit back before filling? I normally use a few screws with washers to make sure it's all held back well so it can't move around or be too close to surface anywhere. Not tried leaving it without mind you, just made sense to me so always done it.
Great job
cheers, finally a vid using (oval) conduit
You done well there drilling into the chopped out box, what depth backbox are they you use please?
Good job Chris, what type of hoover are you using for your chaser?
Hi Chris
Nice job.
Not tried the oval conduit yet🤪 is that the 20mm? What depth do you set to, to avoid fastening it back?
Steve
Hi Thanks for this video...Just wondered if you managed to add the extra blades? I've got the same chaser and had the same line of thought. If you did, is it any better?
Great video when are ya getting the new van
Re your comment on the vacuum passthrough. 1400w for the vacuum only leaves 1600w for the passthrough, unless it has a 16amp fuse.
Let me know how you get on with adding the blades mate. I’ve heard of other sparks doing it but not done it myself. I’ve got the same chaser and agree the last bit of chopping out is a pain! If it works well I’ll do the same mate! Can’t beat that chaser for the money
Jay Harding which chaser is it. Can’t make it out. Cheers
Looks like that capping is a bit too narrow for the cables, why not use double capping?
If you put your PVA mix in a spray bottle you can spray it in and hold a rag on the wall beneath it as you go, to catch it when it runs.
Do you use a bag for masonary on that hoover or is it ok without ? (im thinking of getting the chaser and hoover)
a nod to the Jedi
Wouldn’t it be great if all house wiring was done on surface, in conduit and trunking? Super accessible and future proof. If I was building a house that’s how I would do it.
What was the benefit of stopping the chase before the backbox? Only thought in my head was that small section is unprotected. Only thing I can think of is saves a bit of time with the filling and getting into the backbox. Unless I'm missing something obvious?
M sockets could be 2nd fixed on the same day. I’ve not tried this method before but it would definitely be a better finish.
If the idea is to make it easy for rewiring in the future, then surely continuing the whole length would make more sense?
This way, the next electrician who looks behind the socket won’t have a clue the conduit is even there........ or from above......
CJR- keep the videos up 👍 when you showing the van give away with showing the random picking process of numbers??
Hi Marc
Sorry if you missed it I did it live on Instagram due to technical issues with CZcams live. Sorry if you missed it.
@@Cjrelectrical no worries mate, I take it I never won it since your not saying congrats haha
I had the same idea as you about adding extra blades to the chaser (for the same reason), it doesnt work as the little bits instantly block the dust extraction.
Hi Mark what chaser are you using and which extractor please?
nice job
The 30L Titan Hoover allows a 1720w wall chaser to be plugged into it.
if you want to bypass annoying adverts just copy the video link and paste into VLC player
What do u use to chase out the backboxes m8?
Do you have to bond the gas pipes inside and at the meter?
Welcome back,where have you been?no new van yet.nice job,once again. 👍
Still waiting to hear about the competition. Who won?
I don't think tickets.sold well.its a fiat.😂
Nobby Hall was drawn live on Instagram due to technical difficulties with youtube live. A chap called Joshua won the van.
CJR ELECTRICAL thanks for letting us know 👍🏻
Quick question mate I recently passed my 2391-52 inspection and testing course. I’ve got 2 years of experience working in this trade. Will I be able to apply in NICEIC to get myself registered or where can I apply for job ?
Tasty job House Bashing hate it
Been thinking of putting another blade in my chaser but will that cause it to burn out cause if the strain as they are designed for two blades??
I wondered this, hope he tries it and puts it on youtube, then we can either rush out and buy more blades, or smirk slightly and think, thought so.
A bit of KY jelly makes most things slip in with ease.......😜
Or Silicone grease... on cables only🤪🤪
When you struggle to push the cables through, pop a fish tape in the conduit and pull the cables through.
and a bit of soap LOL I think Chris might know this ..... :)
Hi Chris, Would you reccomend the Titan wall chaser as a god budget tool, and have you still got it or have you bought another?
I still have it yes it’s still going strong
Do you only put 1 fixing in your boxes Chris?
I got sold a bail of wrong size oval and it has cost me around 4K to date on counselling.
I’ve a mate who works at the speed of this video in real time!! He’s hard to keep up with lol 😂
we used to get £200 a day to strip, chase and rewire 2 bedroom flats, 2 man team £200 each, was a nightmare but the money was good lol
@@croikeymatesthrowashrimpon8130 meanwhile your boss was probably charging 2k and making the good money from your hard work
@@JamesLawlor probably, but its not what you know, its who you know.
we would strip out and rewire on day 1 and fit out and test on day 2, was hard graft wouldnt recommend that as a working style unless you fancy dying at 40
If you put a bit fery in conduit will go very easy
getting a bungalow rewire = YAY no floorboards
But itchy roofspace 😂😂😂😂
Who won the van comp?
CJR what a genius idea putting more blades in. Have you seen this done. Will it work. If so I’m off down screwfix for more blades
Tried it today works a treat with 3 not to well with 4.
CJR ELECTRICAL what a guru. Is yours a erbauer chaser. Which blades did you get
CJR ELECTRICAL will the washers hold blades in place as only 2 of them have a lip. Looks like the 3rd blade might float about ?
Another CJR vid, another like
How do you find the titan chaser and hoover for dust? looking to get one as got some chasing to in my kitcken
Great with a new bag
Something you can do since the hoover's there, get a piece of string, tie a knot in it, put it at one end of the conduit and use the hoover at the other end to suck it through.
Pulls the string / cord through, from there you can draw the cable through :-)
Or save yourself prating about with hoovers & string and just use a draw tape.
Sure using your rods makes sense, but I love the string idea, I'll file that in the back of the brain under, "Shit you might need to get you out of a corner that you just yourself into because your an idiot!"
Where did you get your ferrule crimp tool from Chris?, I've been looking for one myself.
I think Nick Bundy got one cheap as chips on Amazon.
@@ashmanelectricalservices4318 thanks I'll have to have a look, I've looked at a couple of wholesalers, just not spotted any yet and with time between jobs its usually get materials and go.
Ebay sell them as a kit
Good idea drilling the last few inches rather than chasing down all the way down to the knockout box. Why are you using fly leads for the back box. The back box is earthed by the socket pins and a fly lead is only required if you have two sliding lugs.
Non-builder here, be gentle! Was wondering why he didn't chase down to the box as the drill chiseling the last bit looked like a pain and seems to go against the statement that the conduit is protecting against acids etc. What is the issue with chasing down to the box? More difficult to fix everything to the wall or ??
It's not required to earth the backbox if there is a fixed lug but it's generally considered good practice to do so (means if eg a decorator takes the sockets off to paint the backbox is still earthed)
I’ve never understood this fly lead stuff. The back box is earthed through the socket screws. If the socket pins are removed for decoration, then there is almost no risk of the back box becoming live. I think this practice goes back to the old metal back bones with the plastic lugs which haven’t been installed for 60:years. Same with the brown sleeving. An electrician would understand the difference between a blue switched live and a blue neutral and anyone who doesn’t has no business working on an electrical installation and wouldn’t understand what the brown sleeving meant.
@@southseaelectrics6236 What if the grommet was pulled out of the back box as the decorator removes the socket, as he does so he nicks a wire, back box now live and un-earthed.
Looks like you've got the same vacuum I use. Wish I'd got one a bit smaller, can be a pain trying to lug it round some tighter houses without bashing anything on the way through. Also real shame that they didn't design the chaser/vacuum such that the chaser could be plugged into the vacuum so there's less faffing about with extension leads.
Love your work :) but I did wonder if your chasing was deep enough to stop plaster cracking on top of conduit !
Keep wondering.
You been watching Scott brown carpentry again ?
How much would a job like that cost?
e5 ❤️ 🧐
Strange how countries differ as in Northern Ireland we put all cables in tracks in 20mm round conduit
Alexander Rainey
Yep I can’t bring myself to use oval conduit.. I like 20mm round and a good big box of nail in clips!! I don’t care if the person filling after me has a nightmare lol
We use both oval and round in UK. Domestic usually use oval or metal capping for chases. Commercial or industrial never use oval conduit.
N.I is the same country.
From Northern Ireland too and always track 20mm conduit right into the box. Makes it full rewirable in the future without having to track out old capping
The difficulty in a lot of houses is the walls aren't thick enough, so chasing in 20mm round conduit in domestic settings takes out more depth of wall/leaf thickness than building regs allow
I saw Luke do the same thing with the sockets, why do you do it when you're gonna be the one bonding it immediately after?
Can you link to Luke’s stuff please
D lewis search my trusted electrician
Them chaser pull down mate as appose to pushing up I done the same thing
Il give it a go.
Just read the instruction booklet it says for best operation cut from bottom to top pushing up.
Missions. And a dam gas line.
Ohhh not hardwall plaster. It's the wrong stuff, use bonding coat.
Anyone told you you are a lookalike for James Corden?
Why don’t you use Makita DHR242 or 243 SDS hammer drill, you can attach dust extractor to them and no dust or particles go out and are powerful drills.
I wouldn’t bother with a bootlace on a single stranded wire. That’s not what they’re for.
Chris B he doesn’t mean it’s a solid core when he says it’s a 1.5 single stranded, it’s a stranded “single” as in a a single core on its own but it’s made up of strands of copper
Warren Ashcroft boot lace ferrules are for fine stranded.
But to be honest they are a joy for tri rated singles make a much better job, maybe over kill for a fly lead but each to their own
Warren Ashcroft who uses singles for a back box fly lead?
Chris B it’s required by regs to use a flexible fly lead
tomorichard Thompson really? Doesn’t seem to be very well adopted.
You remind so much of Mark Goldbridge, a man united fans channel on CZcams, it’s uncanny!
What is "his way of conduit" you talk about
Fucking CZcams. Didn't get notified
I'm sure this is safe and all but personally I would never allow my house to be done like this. I wan't proper conduit with proper junction boxes in attics/crawl-spaces to able to add future circuits if need be. Or at least BX, not this Romex crap.
