Ban-all-sheds manufacturing division?

Should there not be a fibre washer between gland and box? Sure I needed one with EX stuff?
And steel with EX stuff seems wrong. Can cause sparks? Also problem with electrolysis with brass to steel.

There's a stripper and a crimper on ebay for a fiver at the moment. (but you'd need to check it's a 20mm crimper)

Hmm - that's not so bad.

Quick search shows others at reasonable prices, and glands too.

Might watch for a while to see if cable bargains ever crop up. If the ends have been left exposed, but assuming it's not actually been left out in the rain, how far along would moisture be likely to have travelled?

I was told a foot iirc, although the only real way to tell was to strip from either end and have the IR tester on it periodically.

Well - I'll worry about that if I ever see any.

Using pyro was something that interested me, and I knew that the cable itself wasn't the cheapest around, but having looked into exactly how not cheap it is I doubt I'll be having a go.

anyone old enough to remember the alluminimum pyro??

Nope

If you're ever passing Leeds, give me a shout and I'll cut you a few meters off for you to have a go with.

Well I've acquired some cable now, so we'll see.....

Check the batteries in your IR tester before you start!!

Is there a project in mind of just a general fiddle about with it?

 

[ban-all-sheds]

I'll be using it for the internal wiring of a shed^H^H^H^H wooden garden outbuilding.

It doesn't need to be done in Pyro, but as I fancied having a go, I might as well use it for something real.

Unless of course I find that my best efforts end up looking like a microbore plumbing system designed by Heath Williams.....

When you apply for Building Regulations approval what do you plan to say will be the way you'll comply with P1?

Kind Regards, John.

Just thought I'd ask; there seems to be plenty of precedent

Kind Regards, John.
