master phone socket replacement

[marky1]

Hi

A customer wants his white BT master phone socket replaced with a chrome (white inserts) master socket (supplied from Denmans).

My problem is that on the BT master it has wires going to A & B, can you please advise where these wires go on the new master as there is no A & B.

Thanks

2 and 5 are the line terminals.

so does that mean i put A in 2 & B in 5 as well as existing wires in 2 & 5

Yes. See TLC help info; http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Technical/Telecoms/Telephone%20Wiring.htm

I didnt think you was allowed to touch the master socket. It's Bt's property lol

I always like to keep the BT nte5 master so customer can test line and technically you should not touch it anyway.
