Kudos to Corey for bigging up Reuben, it really means a lot when you're learning to be praised when you do stuff right, 49 here, and still remember the sparks who were nice to me at 16
Hey do you use your apple watch for the camera…a good tip if someone does not know, You open the camera app on the phone and image comes up on your watch, great when you need to look for things in tight spaces. Love your work.
Telecoms cable wiring starts with Blue, then Orange, Green, and Brown. First pair to be used should be Blue/Blue-White. In the char carger application I don’t suppose it matters that much. I use some WD40 at times to help get cables through tight ducting/trunking.
No Shawshank Pie today Cory? mirror and string magnets good tools. that under ground conduit run was a joke .there had to be stones or gravel in there before you pulled the cable. Lee is a great cable tugger. Always great vlogs
Lee, get yourself some gun cleaner. It’s an essential to buy alongside your expanding foam. It keeps the gun clean, keeps the end of the foam canister clear (if you remove it) and it’ll remove any expanding foam that hasn’t already set with just a quick spray.
I got some from screwfix, its only Acetone or Cellulose Thinners...that shit sticks to anything, especially skin lol. Was hillarious watching the bag fill up though.
Strictly speaking, probably not. It'd have to be earthed metal to provide additional protection. Plastic pipe isn't going to do much to ensure the cable short-circuits safely (and trips an MCB) if cut through. Granted, it's a fairly short run and it's unlikely that anyone will be digging there (since there's paving above) and the cable can be seen going in & out of the duct. But AFAIK underground cabling >50v should always use earthed SWA or be within earthed metallic conduit, etc.
Yes, I would argue the paving satisfies mechanical protection required. The fact that you can see both ends of the cable also means it doesnt take a huge leap of imagination to guess where its run should the slabs come up.
Top tip i find (not a spark but pull alot of network cable etc) just put some fairly up liquid down the end of the duct, pour fair bit in, and if needed put some on cable if it dosnt coat as its goes through, you will not believe what a difference this will make to pulling any cable through a duct, even if its not that tight a fit, the friction from the duct and cable over a distance is huge, a bit of fairy and it just decudes this by like 75%, deal breaker i find!
No critic, just a question: Why aren’t there more multi-row CUs in the UK? E.g. German electricians put at least 2-row panels in each chamber of some business hotels or apartments, often combined with a mounting place for the meter. I think this is a UK standard of some sort, but it always looks so fiddly to get all the cables into these tiny CUs … even if Artisans always do a great job of making it look pretty 🤩
You'll basically never find multi row CUs in UK houses but anywhere else you'll find something vertically stacked In 2 rows so you have a bit more space
This is like every job I get assigned in work. Either do things right and neat and be out late on your own time, eating into your personal life OR cut corners do an average job and be finished on time. Every job fucking suuuuuuucks.
Surely don't need to have a Zappi on an RCD (or RCBO) at all, just an MCB, as it has RCD protection built in. At least that's what the manufacturer advise.
Customer fitting their own duct boils my piss , oh I have used some none compliant plumbing waste pipe , the cable bends won’t confirm and the colour is a deviation but yea whatever
Dishsoap as cable lube? You absolute sadist... I mean, it works well in a pinch, I just wouldn't want to be the next sorry sap trying to replace that cable with dried dishsoap throughout the pipe 😂
The bricks they use on 'new builds' are just terrible quality, you just have to breathe near them and they blow out. Even on my mother's 70s Barratts, the bricks are crap, we were drilling a 12mm hole from the outside for the CCTV, and the whole face of the brick fell off! In fact, even just from the weather there are a few that have blown.
Sorry about that, I think our editor usually just bungs all the video files into iMovie and taps the automatic movie maker button. I guess blame Steve Jobs 😔

shows great team work get the job done .Cory, Lee and Reuben
Tip for expanding foam, don't touch it if its on stuff you need to save, let it dry first, then break it off, else it'll stain
Hey do you use your apple watch for the camera…a good tip if someone does not know,
You open the camera app on the phone and image comes up on your watch, great when you need to look for things in tight spaces. Love your work.
I was waiting for the pub shot at the end. Great video as always.
Cable in ducting, apply some washing up liquid to cable and some in ducting, it will slide in like dream and smell nice as well.
Cory is a fantastic spark. I’m a Lecturer from Wigan college
Awesome video guys, I'm sure you're all conscientious and chose to phone the office for another job 😆😆😆

WD40 can affect the insulation and stinks, far better to use proper conduit lube
Back in the day we used soap liquid or talc powder.
I use KY
Lube is useful here!
we have blue-orange-green-brown-grey in our telecom
CT1 or gripfill for those cover plates Lee, silicone is NOT an adhesive (see every time sky 'engineers' have used them)
5:40 is that lunch on the table 😂
6:45 is that also an X Board 300 we see 👀
❤13:44 top advice: don't be the one 'holding a bag' 🤣
8:30 dont you use a glider or a lube for pulling cables?
There's dry lube to help with cables like this - works like a dream
Another fantastic video, the expanding foam issue was my favourite part 🤣
Great team, good job lads. 👍👍👍
That last comment, spoken like a true tradie 😄👌🏻
Begin with hoovering the duct 7:50. Then, and I cannot stress this enough: silicone lubricant spray
yes, i was yelling 'use some lube' (oo err mrs).... I use Ideal wire pulling lubricant... but either/or ... better than struggling
Just some silicone spray in the pipe before tight pull and should come quite easily or otherwise there's a potential problem 😁
Ideal YELLOW !
I had to stop video and comment at 5:25
I love how you used your expensive screwdriver instead of chisel 🤟🤟🤟🤣🤣
Great team work 👏 great video 📹 wish I was an apprentice again and be able to join a team like artizan
Thank you!
Great job lads.
Great ep 👌
Talcum powder is an excellent dry lubricant for pulling cables in ducting or conduit
CORY DA MAN, only reason I watch your channel at this point
Does Lee use the velocity rogue 4.0? What are the tape loops he uses on the outside of his bag if so?
Top episode!
No Shawshank Pie today Cory?
mirror and string magnets good tools. that under ground conduit run was a joke .there had to be stones or gravel in there before you pulled the cable. Lee is a great cable tugger. Always great vlogs
Gotta love the mario stash’s in the thumbnail , even if it is the wrong trade
#ChuckleBrothers
Great video, (as always). I started posting my soft on youtube because of you, but if sobody could give so feedback then i know
Fairy liquid down the tube usually helps ☘️
8:58 ever heard of cable pulling lube? If not, get some!!
Strip the cable back to tape rope to inner cores they fly through ducts etc.Use cable lube if things get tight worked for me for 46 years.
stripping the cable is not legal outdoors - the double insulation is required for moisture resistance
Lee, get yourself some gun cleaner. It’s an essential to buy alongside your expanding foam. It keeps the gun clean, keeps the end of the foam canister clear (if you remove it) and it’ll remove any expanding foam that hasn’t already set with just a quick spray.
I got some from screwfix, its only Acetone or Cellulose Thinners...that shit sticks to anything, especially skin lol. Was hillarious watching the bag fill up though.
Something I've found with expanding foam, try and clean it and it makes it worse.
Let it cure,
i hate it when they put a toilet in the fuseboard room
What kind of camera do you guys use?? Wanne start filming as well 😁
You need to get a US greenlee drill cable pulling tool a tools like that would be worth it’s weight in gold that and lubricating with the ideal gel…
I have not had an issue with my bus bars but then again I have also not installed one does it mean I have found a loophole?
Hey corey how old are you and when did you qualify you look young but are really good at the job and seem to be very wise👍🏼
Please show ur installing ct and where ur installing cat 6 cable thanks
Some yellow 77 would of helped through the ducting!
brake cleaner works well for pouring foam cleanups
Nice one!
That didn't look like SWA - does PVC conduit under a paved path count as fine for protection when burying cables?
Strictly speaking, probably not. It'd have to be earthed metal to provide additional protection. Plastic pipe isn't going to do much to ensure the cable short-circuits safely (and trips an MCB) if cut through.
Granted, it's a fairly short run and it's unlikely that anyone will be digging there (since there's paving above) and the cable can be seen going in & out of the duct.
But AFAIK underground cabling >50v should always use earthed SWA or be within earthed metallic conduit, etc.
I'd go with SWA 100%
That’s what I thought - buried cable requires protection from an earthed metallic sheath or and earthed metallic conduit
Yes, I would argue the paving satisfies mechanical protection required. The fact that you can see both ends of the cable also means it doesnt take a huge leap of imagination to guess where its run should the slabs come up.
5:22 I was feeling ok until this. I really want to like you, why are you making it so hard? :D
Top tip i find (not a spark but pull alot of network cable etc) just put some fairly up liquid down the end of the duct, pour fair bit in, and if needed put some on cable if it dosnt coat as its goes through, you will not believe what a difference this will make to pulling any cable through a duct, even if its not that tight a fit, the friction from the duct and cable over a distance is huge, a bit of fairy and it just decudes this by like 75%, deal breaker i find!

You'll basically never find multi row CUs in UK houses but anywhere else you'll find something vertically stacked In 2 rows so you have a bit more space
Do you have to check with the authorities to see if the supply can take a charger?
cable lubricant would have helped, edit: also gloves
Next time, spray a load of silicone spray to lubricate, drys quick
What tool bag is lee using?
Strange question but what brand are your work boots? Thanks
Big Boots 🥾 use code ‘Artisan’ for 5% off 👌🏼
This is like every job I get assigned in work.
Either do things right and neat and be out late on your own time, eating into your personal life OR cut corners do an average job and be finished on time.
Every job fucking suuuuuuucks.
You guys are a prime example why other hard working trades want to retrain as electricians... 😂😂
What have you done to transit to end up in the caddy? 🤭
👀 You don’t want to know 🫣
4hours don't seem long for those type of jobs does that include a completion certificate too
If so No pressure then
3 guys makes for 12 working hours. I reckon 1 man could get this done in a days work.
Surely don't need to have a Zappi on an RCD (or RCBO) at all, just an MCB, as it has RCD protection built in. At least that's what the manufacturer advise.
Yes dish soap
Come on lads your better than a a red cover cap 😂lovely job other than that
@8:50 Why dont yall just use "wire pulling lube"?
wd40 is your friend for ducting and brake cleaner for the expanding foam goo
cable pulling lubricant would've been worth its weight in diesel there
Customer fitting their own duct boils my piss , oh I have used some none compliant plumbing waste pipe , the cable bends won’t confirm and the colour is a deviation but yea whatever
Dishsoap as cable lube? You absolute sadist...
I mean, it works well in a pinch, I just wouldn't want to be the next sorry sap trying to replace that cable with dried dishsoap throughout the pipe 😂
That cable will never be replaced in that duct I hope 😂
Bare circuit board in those chargers 🙄 dust, rain, tools, fingers, will never touch that..
Needs lubrication 👍
LUUUUUUUBE!!!!

🫣
my house is like that, 70's LBC face bricks.
at the start of the video when hes fiddling about with the consumer unit "ive turned the power off" *solar pv meter is still on* 🤭🤭🤭
Use 3M wire pulling lube
silly place to put a fuse box
Take us to the pub you did not. Cheated we are.
Editing continuity lacking on this one. Charger was on the wall and then it wasn’t!
Sorry about that, I think our editor usually just bungs all the video files into iMovie and taps the automatic movie maker button. I guess blame Steve Jobs 😔
@@artisanelectrics Blame the dead guy? 🤣
Get wet wipes likes of Huggies.😊
I like videos with the 3 of you in them,Luke's a bit annoying
At least you know it's your drill 🙄
I had to shut my eyes when that beautiful Klein screwdriver was being used as a chisel 😢😵💫
Fairy liquid
corey is becoming quite a hunk as he sheds his puppy fat, shame about the other 2!
😂😂😂 this is my favourite comment I’ve ever read. Thanks for that, I’ll be sure to share it with the team - Love from Cory
NOOOO. The beard is covering Cory's jawline :/
