25:45 nice you caught that and “made it right”…..that’s awesome of you👍🏻👍🏻
It’s the details, those “small details”; that a person does, can make all the difference, and gotta give you an A+ mate for this one😊
I love how this was in James’ house and zero attempt was made to clear the area above the shower in the loft 😂
Maybe just maybe they hadn’t worked out the cable run before hand
@@paullyons4624 maybe just maybe. It's kind of obvious 🤔. I mean where else are they going to run the cable for a shower that's fixed in 1 place! 🤦♂️🤣
James did hide the porn mags ""( probberley . )
Hi Chris,
Nice installation in James’s house. Very informative as usual. The pull - switch is brilliant as is the hole - cutter ! Tsunami plumbing?
Here’s to your next upload!
👍⚡️
Fitted one of these guys today, don't forget to turn the dials on the shower unit before putting the cover on which I usually forget to do. :) Nice neat install as usual guys and as always you make it all look so easy. Proper job.
😌or find out water is leaking thru the adjuster knob
I bet whoever James lives with will have seen the video and gone "Oh James, you could have at least tidied your room before the video"! 😂 As always a great video guys!
Great video. Enjoyed that very much Chris !
You forgot the classic , always put plug in bath so screws don’t fall down plug hole . Happened so many times to me 🙄
Should include a rubber bath plug in your tol kit !
Great video Chris! Nice to see the cavity master in action.
What a fine dog, and happy to help, fantastic family member you have there James! Really nice tidy job on the install, surprised that the roof space had been mostly converted ready to live in but hadn't quite finished the job off, it looks like they ran out of money at the last hurdle.
i'll be using them Crabtree pull switches from now on. great vid chap.
Excellent work and thanks for sharing this funny and great content with us take care
First off cracking videos. Really helping me!! Would’ve been good to see the full testing of this. :) especially after you found your earth loop being a bit high for what you thought.
Brilliant !!! As always top job , thought James would of commissioned it Chris 😀😀
I’ve recently started fitting the click version of those pull switches, cheaper, virtually identical but have double screw terminals which feel are better. Have used Crabtree ones for years though and haven’t had any problems. Don’t come across many faulty ones either
That's a good 50a pull switch ...
Well done Crab 🌲
Great job lad's, clean and tidy as usual 👏 those crabtree isolators are ment to screw to the joists and the cable enters either side. keep up with the brilliant videos 👍
You beat me to it about the joists. I used to install these years ago. I curled the conductors before cutting them because if you strip them then bend the conductors the copper is uneven.
Worth watching just for the lovely old dog 😍
Nice video. Going to use this on my main board
So will James be on time, seeing as he doesn't have to walk anywhere 😆😆😆
That flooring cutter is pretty neat. If you know someone at a sheet metal shop you could likely get them to make you plates way cheaper then buying them from the supply shop.
Or get a die made and use a hydraulic press to stamp them out.
Those access holes & covers should be required by building regs for new builds. Some form of access, anyway. In the US, many states require an access panel under showers for plumbing access, we should have similar.
the only thing I would of done different is when using a crabtree showerpull have the load and the feed on either side of the joist so when you screw the showerpull to the ceiling you have a good solid joist to secure it to
Crabtree stuff is always good. Their light switches are so much better than others I have used. Good job chaps!
Yes, all built like a brick outhouse.
There's a good reason councils use their products a lot, practically indestructible unless you intend to!
Click clonk. Light on
Clearly haven’t came across their latest design of 13A switch fuse connection units. Absolute dog 💩. Love Crabtree, been using for 20 odd years and normally good quality but over the years, when they change design on products, it gets worse unfortunately
That’s a really good job. Nice and tidy
Thumbs up for the tip to make your earth connections longer!
Quality
Entertaining as usual
Nice video again, learnt a lot from you. i work in general maintenance and seen the sparky use a diamond hole saw cutter to cut a hole in tiles to feed the cable through, makes a nice neat round hole . think screwfix or toolstation do a set of different sizes, not too expensive :)
Awesome video mate
What a great dog, James
Don't blame the poor dog for the panting noises, we know it was James getting excited. 😃
🤣
Got one of those floor hole saws, good piece of kit
Another great vid Chris and I think that they will have to get more tiling done on that bare wall now they have a shower eh?
That Crabtree switch is fantastic how many times have I had issues with 10mm in them back boxes nice 👌
Exellent job
Loyal user of WERA tools 👍👍👍
17:10 What's interesting is that here in Hungary they do say you need to use ferrules on multi-strand solid cable. Personally I think it's a good choice either way since the wire is precompacted with it and cannot come loose after you torque it down in the terminal and move it
I believe ferruling a solid core cable rather than a flex or multistranded cable can damage the tool over time and make the compression less consistent. However for solid core cables I like to use a flat blade crimp 💪🏼
@@giorgiofrattolillo I honestly don't think so
would you not have a separate rcd for shower or rcbo this the norm in rep of ireland
not fitted one of the shower iso in ages very true love them
In Holland we most of the time install yellow PVC pipe first in which we run the vinyl isolated blue/brown/yellow-green (or gray/black as switching) cable leads. So interesting to see how different countries that are very close-by do it differently.
You would be hard-pressed to find a single mm of conduit in a UK domestic installation, as clipping the wires is the fastest, cheapest way to wire a house and that is all the big UK house builders care about - to maximise profits. Commercial installations are a different story (usually). The problem is that in order to do any maintenance work on a UK house you have to rip things apart to get access (as opposed to pulling new wires through existing conduit).
Holland always seem to have better ideas the 'UK'👌
Blows my mind the way the UK runs 240v 50a to a bloody shower! We just have pressurized hot and cold water at the shower in Australia.
Nice job 😎
Myself I would leave a bit of slack on the cable behind the pull switch . Both pull switches don’t look inline with each other
I'm going to try out those switch look interested 👌🏾
All very good!
Dog is beautiful. Got a new apprentice there
Chocolate Lab, Gods chosen creatures. Goldens and Blacks are also good in my book. A black Lab once saved me and a friend of mine from a fire many years ago....barking mad until the dumb humans got out of the burning house and were safe. Gods chosen creatures.
I love plumbing work
Chip boards 😩 that’s hole saw is a game changer mate
@@Yorkie0362 Yeah the Armeg one is the plastic inserts I believe
Hello friends you use gopro for filming?
I don’t know why they don’t allow for maintenance/upgrades in house design. How hard would it be to fit a removable section above boards 🤷♂️
Tool station silver line plastic lids are the cheapest 👍
@@JayTheSparky That's right. I used these over 10 years ago on werock flooring with the plastic caps.
'we pulled it out of the plumbers hole' - nice :-)
Them crabtree switches are beautiful but u should try wiring it with the Irish 10s where the cpc is also 10s . nightmare
That cavity master looks amazing 🤯
Now we know why James is "Head and Shoulders" above everyone else.
i have goten in the habit here in the us any ways of always running 20a rated cable/wire but just using a 15a breaker..unless 20a is needed..i like to see this practice .. run a biger cable than ya think ya need an ad the min breaker..& if ya need more its a easy breaker swap without worrying about any think going wrong..!
I hope you made James get in the van and drove him aound the block after the job was finished
Nice JT signed shirt he’s got in cupboard there.
He a blue? Up the blues 🙌🏻⚽️
Great job, is it worth shuffling the circuit breakers over to put the 50 amp nearer the red?
I personally but a block of timber in between the two cables for a solid fixing on the pullcord
What do you mean what the plumber has done is no good for you, you can move the terminal block to the other side of that shower, just needed the tile edges filing. Nice job though and do like the Crabtree isolator I'll remember that for future, shame so many people want them wall mounted instead though.
its a triton easy fit t80 you could of moved the contour block right as i do it all the time at work
Always remember to stick the plug in the hole before removing/fitting anything 😉
Why do you specifically add the light switch 40 cm away from the lamp? Is it because of a regulation? I hate that the light switches are always behind the bedside table because of it.
Followed cjr from the start, amazing work. Very true real world perspective. Keep up the good work
Aww me and the mrs were waiting for you and james to have a shower together 😄 very disappointed
😱
crabtree 50A pull switch the only one i use on all shower installs.
Likewise. So easy to connect if you follow the same method as Chris and give you the confidence that they are actually capable of handling 50A. The cheap ones make the connections hard work!
Baths are decadent. I love them.
Good bro 👌 👏
That poor dog. They usually pant a lot when their too hot. Give the dog a drink. Excellent job Chris, didn't see James do much on this one though.
Dog: "Who is this strange man in my house? Should he be here?"
Loved those socks :)
Pull cord would be handy if you had a loose connection and arcing in the shower unit. Unlikely, but a possibility, I would leave the cord accessible.
I'm far too tight for one of Hole cutters. Just keep short bits of 2x2 or 3x2 that you acquire on jobs
James might want to extend that exhaust outside. Or maybe not. 🤔
Chris loves lamp...
Chris just for a future reference the triton shower connector blocks can be moved to each side would of saved you drilling new tile holes
Cheers bud yeah like to keep seperate
Great video . I’d emp[oy you to do my next house project!👍
You two do make me laugh....
Thank you this is our goal to bring some smiles along the way.
hahaha the sparky gets to christen the shower
You missed out big time to sneak into James sock drawer and swap all his socks out 😂
He probably find a sock baby
Brave going through a lad's sock drawer! 😱
@@emmavenvell why brave? foot smell is yummy IMO
@@bitzelijoschaevci3444 Socks that stand up by themselves don't smell too fresh though.
@@emmavenvell oh you mean the cum sock... well that's a different thing, but while i don't like these, i also don't hate them and just in case you mean socks that stand up by themselves because they're crusted with sweat from really, REALLY smelly feet (we're talking severe hyperbromodosis here), these are the ones i'd absolutely love to smell and lick.
Ah beautiful doggo. Whats his name?
Love the painting of Ayers Rock under the switch box Stupid question. What is the shower thing that has been installed ? Water heater ? Don’t you guys have hot water running throughout the houses there ?
Usually in UK houses the hot water supply does not have the pressure required for electric showers.
do these showers need descaling of their heating tanks/elements? thank you
I like the Crabtree shower switches as the cable entries are separated, they aren't infallible though as I've seen the plastic mechanism break which pulls the spring down
I have an 8.5kw shower installed, does that mean 10mm cable was used also could you use a 9.5kw as mains water is very good.
Just curious did that house have a 160a main in feed? Heard 2x 80a main switches.
Good quality pullcord no doubt but trying to terminate two 10mm earths on the Irish cable is a nightmare into that single connection!
About time try made a pull cord to accept a 10mm,last shower I done they were not about,real struggle to get a 10mm in a 30A pull cord .
No such thing as a 30amp switch 🤔
@@pablomagee2999 oh silly me,15a 45a and now 50a do opologise
Would love to know what you charged for the lamp switch install, just out of interest.
£0
They nearly arranged a tsunami in your shower!
Explain to me how you overload an electric shower heating element, have a think about that. Realistically you only have to design for fault current.
Electricity network problem, transformer taps up to high voltage tapping above regulated voltage range.
used to hate doing 10mm with a standard patress. Snap, start again D:
Why do you guys have the fuseboards/consumer units mounted high in the UK. like on the cealing. Where I live in mainland Europe we are not allowed to mount it that high. In homes it is required to mount it with underside at 1.5M and the top row of MCB's may not be higher than 2M I believe (not sure on that one but it is a rule of thumb I keep in mind)
This is so in case of a fire, the fire crew can turn of the main fuse to the house to prevent risks to their crew. Also in case of a fault it is easy to reset them without having to grab a ladder. Especially if the lights are on the tripped RCD/breaker/fuse.
Just interested on to why that seems to be a trend in the UK
5 minutes!?! I just got on demand hot water and I spent 45 minutes waiting for the water to turn cold.
Ugh, moving all that rockwool... itching for weeks!
Rock wool isn’t supposed to itch, fibreglass insulation on the other hand
So got a vent just moving all the moisture from bathroom to the attitc? 😂

Hello,
I shall be grateful if you will please tell me cabree switch model number and the cable brand you used in this video.
Many thanks
Ahmed
Why is it no common to use something like a HAGER SINGLE POLE MCB/RCD instead of the separate RCD and CB? would this not save room in the board and mean you can just connect everything the to a16mm bus bar
How close can you run 10mm cables to other electrics such as ceiling lights or switches ?
Have a look at BS 7671- 'Grouping' or Cg? Chapter 4 & 5. Its all about heat loss from the cable. More heat more resistance- more fires!
Bro time to up grade to bosch blue 😛 just teasing
