I once contacted the DNO to report a high Ze on a TN-C-S supply. 0.72ohms the reading was. Supply was from an overhead line. 3 cables on overhead (L,N,E) but supply from overhead into property was single concentric so I assumed TN-C-S. DNO came out, checked joints, said they could not lower the...

I believe CT-100 has a larger diameter centre core & more braides. RG59U is used mainly in analogue transmission & CCTV installations GS

Thanks badge. Theres a clear sight of the sky. No trees obstructing. Ideally I would like to use as small a dish as possible. I don't think the owners are too keen on a large dish. So wat's the smallest dish I could use, with a multiswitch and a quattro LNB? Taking into concideration cable runs...

I know this has been discussed a lot recently, but bear with me! I'm coming up to 2nd fix stage of a small b&b. Originally the owners wanted freeview distributed. So RG6 Sat cable was ran to every room (8 in total) from the attic. Now they have changed their mind and want satellite signals...

I agree with most of the above. I wouldn't bother drilling into them as you won't get enough depth without coming out the other side, to plug the hole and use a screw. Bit of batten, sticks like sh*it or gripfill. Fix accessories, saddles etc to the batten. You will have to let the adhesive "go...

Cheers. Can i still use a small dish (like the sky ones) rather than a bigger 60cm one? I will be distributing 8 feeds

Cheers. I am looking at feeding into loft and distributing from there. So if I was to use a multiswitch as Noz sugested, would this not work? I'm just thinking, on large blocks of flats I only ever see 1 large dish with a quad LNB on the end and an ariel next to it. Every flat has 2 sat feeds...

They intend on having a box in each room

Evening all. Ok. I'm no expert when it comes to TV/SAT distribution. I usually get somebody in to do it for me. However on this particular job im pricing, I'll have a go myself. Basically a satellite outlet is required in every room of the property (domestic) 9 rooms. They want to be able to...

MDF I think. Cheers lads

I havn't sorry Noz. I don't think I'll be able to get one either, its a holiday home. So wont have access until I actually do the job. Should have taken a pic really. GS

Afternoon I need to replace a damaged extractor fan in a bathroom. (No make visible on existing fan) Due to the nature of the location of the 4 inch hole, the fan must be approximatly 250mm x 250mm x 90mm. I can find plenty this size however I can not find any with the 4 inch extractor pipe in...

Evening all. I havn't done much 3 phase work since I started on my own a couple of years ago. When I was employed before that, it was all we did. So a bit more domestic work has been a welcome change. However I am not up to date on prices etc regarding 3 phase boards etc. Anyway. I have a few...

Thats true. Wouldn't take too long as everything is new. Client is on a tight budget. Cheers. GS

Afternoon all. I have a small job booked in for the end of next week Client is knocking a wall down in his kitchen. The DB is currently installed in the corner of this wall. Trunking down the wall into a 17th ed board (place was rewired 2 years ago). So basically the DB has to be turned 90...

I'll second that. I have had some really helpful advice from you and I am sure whichever path you chose, it will work out fine. I'd love to be able to teach later on in life. It' sort of an ambition. However as already mentioned, the money isn' great, also I don't think I could teach the...

Quite right. Why pretend to do it? What gets me is that who ever did it could have easily pulled in a new 3-core & earth as the 3-core with no earth they had used was wired inside the cavity of a lath and plaster wall. Would have been quite easy to tie a new cable on and pull it down. Lazy...

Just thought i'd share some of last weeks experiences with you all. Whilst carrying out a PIR on a 3 storey property last week I found there was no earth continuity at a metal fluorescent batten fitting on the top floor. One 1mm T&E so assumed feed was in the switch. Removed switch on top...

Silly me ; O)
