Good luck with the plumbing James, Can't believe Chris made you switch trade. 🤣🤣
(Watch the video people, its all explained in there).
Thanks for the pin, im famous on the internet now :D
Chris made James become a plumber like him :)
Why sack James and make him change trades and become a plumber? Next Andy will be forced to change trades because of Chris, I don't know LOL :D #Bundy10 #Rihnoinsurance
That copex looks crap why not fit it into another wiska box and put a proper copex gland on the end. Plus over time that will fill with water
I like to terminate data cables like that in a back box with face plate, then use a proper patch lead to go from there to the device. It’s neater and more reliable than a crimped on end. It’s also an easier termination using a simple telco krone tool 👍
It also means that you're never fiddling with the end of your long run, just a short (easily replaceable) patch lead. If for example the clip breaks off the end of the lead, they just replace the patch rather than calling you out again to recrimp the end and find some slack somewhere!
he explained why at 3:07
@@Malandrin absolutely he explained why he did it. My point is explaining there is a better way to do it than that 👍
Any length of Cat5 cat6 beyond 10 meters should be solid core and should be terminated in to a proper cat 5 or 6 socket or patch panel. Solid core doesn’t really like crimp plugs on them long term. Seen them fail after a while, so it works and then fails.
That’s the spec for the cable, sure you can go outside the spec as there’s always things that works, but how many times have you seen sparkies berate diy’ers for doing things outside the spec.
True cat5 isn’t going to catch light (unless it accidentally gets shorted on to mains) but still same principle applies. It should be a set distance from sources of emf interference so running next to power cables is outside the spec too.
What if the person decides they want to work from that space and needs a good data rate or decides to stream 4k and the cable can’t handle it.
It’ll probably work but I would agree with the op on this.
@@davideyres955 I've seen CCTV installs done into jacks straight into the recorder, and it looks a bloody mess. Much better to panels like you say.
There are different types of crimp plug, some with straight blades are for punching into stranded cable, and will kick off to the side if punched into solid core. Others with blades that go "either side" are meant for solid core and act more like an IDC terminal.
Interesting title, not related to the video. Nice work as always.
The sped up part at 8:45 shows why you strip off the inner sheath before you put it into the box 😂😂
"just training Andy on this thing, its called a hoover" where did you learn that from? did you have to take a course?
Fascinating to have an insight into people’s weird lifestyles
Hi Chris, nice to shake your hand at the Blenheim run the other day. I’ve been on exactly the same job as your video today and picked up some more good tips, thanks. One thing I was careful of in the new wood cabin, was allowing for vertical expansion. I purposely ensured all fixing for accessories were made in the same slat, not traversing. The movement in the wood due to recent wet weather was incredible and would likely have split the slats or back boxes if their fixings had traversed. Any thoughts?
Can anyone recommend a good copex brand or alternative pipe/solution for me to run two cat 6 cables underground for a good 13m run please?
Just buy 50mm underground cable ducting. It's relatively cheap.
I recently swapped my single outdoor for a double socket, the original single was fitted by a large enough company contracting to Taylor Wimpy for over 5000 homes in this area. When I opened the box to disconnect, it was full with water inside, because no one had protected the screws with silicon, and they had not drilled the drain holes, I guess i got away with it as the connection block was at the top of the box and above the tide..
Dont be shocked by the level of poor workmanship that come from actual sparks, even the big names have cowboys who are lazy and dont care.
Where's James??
I hope he isn't having to have some time off for a personal reason because you fuckers don't give him a second without begging for him, grow up theres a multitude of reasons that he might not be in videos, none of which are anything to do with you
If I remember rightly he's walked away from sparking. 🤔
@@mb-electricalservices sensible lad
He's at college. Chris told you that.
@@acelectricalsecurity you're not wrong! 🤣
Is the title wrong here? This was nothing to do with 3 days for a board change? Asking for a friend! 😁
Is there a reason why you haven’t put an end box on the wall for the data and bendy? Not hating though very nice work on the shed 👍🏻
he explained saying the homeowner wasnt sure about what he wanted so Cris just left the cable like that, at least he explained at the start of the video
Nice tip with the caulk captain neck beard
always strip inner sheathing of armoured before you put it into enclosure, so much easier
We're is the rubber boot on the rj45
The testing of rings is one of the reasons they should be dropped from the regs. To test, you have to break them. Another prime example here. The number of times I hear that the connection in the breaker was not correctly done with it either loose or getting insulation...
How can an "un-switched" spur be double-poled? Popping the fuse only disconnects the live phase.
Yeah my mistake bud
I would have fitted a DP isolator incase of issues in the future , would make it easier to disconnect in the event of it tripping the internal RCD etc
How you fusing it down ?
@@Cjrelectrical Switched fuse spur rather than un switched fused spur . Switch fuses are double pole . Or DP switch inside or Switch fused spur inside .
You can't fuse a neutral anyway. It would have to be a 2 pole switched spur, fusing the line only. I suppose the only benefit would be isolating the outhouse supply if there was water ingress. Chris went belt n braces with the external boxes so can't see water ingress there, but that's not to say u couldn't get water in the outhouse through the roof or whatever. It's a fancy shed at the end of the day. Good job non the less.
A very neat job inside the shed, Chris, everything nicely concealed.
I'd have put a conduit end box on the end of that Copex though, (or even glanded it into another Wiska) cos it would look a lot neater and be more weatherproof.
Enjoying you videos though!
someone send this guy some shorter screws makes me cringe him cutting them off the other side lol , all that milwake and not a box of short screws :S
I was thinking the same
Piece of wood on the inside would be even better - solid mounting for wiska and back box.
So the shed gets a socket yeah?
What areas do you work ? Leeds ?
I was just watching you gland the storm gland into the FCU enclosure. I was thinking why didn’t you strip it before you glanded it. I’ve done it myself in the past and learnt my lesson. 😂. Another good video Chris 👍
Yeah the other end stripped like butter
How long before the home owner swaps that switched fcu plate for a 13A socket?
What switched FCU?
8:52 use the side bit of the knipex cutter mate😆
Considering the nice wood effect inside I would have taken the feed back outside, underground to avoid internal cables for the socket on the other side of the door. Lots of effort but for a tidy job
Hi chris my uncle used to work for perlli cables for a least 35years which is based in aberdare in South Wales and are still there and still making cables like you said under different make that took them over prysmain cables
Cheers Kevin
@@Cjrelectrical no worries Malcolm
Before pirelli, it was BICC, always regarded as the best brand, their factory was in Wrexham
Your website store is very misleading with the pricing needs to be clearer with the VAT much cheaper elsewhere
Did you put in the discount code?
@@Cjrelectrical no I didn’t ☹️
8:50 Chris on your ergostrip there should be a little blade on the side that you can use to run up the cable and that way you can just peel off the sheathing a lot easier👍🏼wicked video as always mate
Yes but I’ve been caught by those being a little aggressive and damaging the primary insulation.
@@MS-Patriot2 yeah deffo but eventually you can gauge how much pressure you need just like any other tool
Prysmian, make your cable reels bigger, cardboard isn't that expensive unlike your cable.
Going large on the sponsors mate. Love it. Make it wherever you can 👍👍👍 Best regards, Scott. ,✌️🙏✌️
Nice work, care and video👍👍Maybe think to use Brown, Blue & G/Y coloured SWA cable in future for SP&N works, saves sleeving better job!
Best Regards
Why do instructions with waterproof boxes say not to drill a drain hole at the bottom if the cable is bottom entry? Surely any extra drainage is better.
I've used the piranha nut for plastic boxes but find they chew them up too much I started to put them upside down. I had a concern they could cut into the insulation of the installed cable with the teeth. but so far no problems. Do any companies make toothless piranha nuts, would be a good idea, saves a lot of time trying to fit a nut and bolt to a banjo.
Whats your thoughts.
Would've used armoured CAT6 myself but it is more expensive :) Great video, top work as always!
It’s external rather than armoured, external is generally marginally more expensive but is UV & rot resistant. Armoured has mechanical protection built in and is indeed far more spendy 👍
funny you mention that... had an indoor cat5e on suspended run outside for 10+ years with no visible degradation... was good enough for the purpose it served, that's in +-30c environment 😅👻 people just couldn't afford any fancy cables back then
Did you connect the outhouse power to the double socket inside the house or did you run it to the consumer unit on its own breaker
Is college full time for apprentices in England rather than block release or one day per week?
Great video Chris, but wrong title I think!!
Chris cracking job glad to hear James is at college seems like a great lad and will make a great sparky.
Have you been on the factory tour yet Chris, maybe they will let you film
Well I have been sealing my external points like a moron for 10 years it seems
How long before he’s calling sky that his tv signal has gone all over the shop?
Andy in a video is a blast from the past, I remember him from the early days.
Would have loved to have seen the aggro you went through getting that armoured under the slab, as always great video
VERY Neat!! and a great ring fault find at the end!
Click bait title. Unsubscribed
Good job. Would of preferred NYY than using PVC/PVC clipped direct giving better protection.
Nyy has no British standard and shouldn't be used .
Un switched spur double pole?
Try ev-ultra cable next time mate.👍
At how many minutes is this diy CU ?
Brilliant work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
Yeah another good video Chris, good seeing Andy make the odd appearance..
Hope you don't let James's take his tools home incase he does a runner, 😂.
Where’s the mention of the board ?
What size SWA did you use?
Why not bring the SWA straight though the floor on the inside of the summer house straight into the socket. Rain water will eventually collect behind that outside wiska box and rot the wood .
Another good tip is slide some flexi over the SWA where it comes out the ground .The outer insulation these days is so crap any sharp object will pierce it.
Cover for the satellite cable, is that home made and cut out a plastic milk bottle or something?
Haha I think it had a proper cover on it that got knocked off leaving a perfect clear silicone imprint
Has James left?
Where’s james
👍👍👍👍 Nice to see Andy
Just a little observation. When I'm going through walls with cables, I always put a piece of conduit through the wall. It makes it easier to feed the cable through and hopefully guards against the cable getting crushed if the wall moves over time.
Well I am just disappointed that James has gone as he seemed to be getting on so far anyway as an ex plumber's off sider I think he might regret swapping over.
heh, he's not swapping. he's becoming a plumber like Chris is a plumber. he's just at college.
@@ChristmasCrustacean1 Well that is good to hear as he seemed to be a good lad though I think he is rather tall to be a plumber LOL!! as I did some plumbing for a while with my father before swapping to nursing and I found that being short I could fit into places easier than a tall fellow!!
Need to get on board with the CK armor slice! game changer
Yeah got a couple nothing special
Just use a plumbers pipe cutter like i do...cheaper pmsl...🤣👍
It's a Vacuum cleaner not a Hoover
Great video as always very inspiring . We're all 3 sockets wired as radial? ... Sorry for the lame question
Yes . The maximum permissable load is determined by the fuse at the start of the SWA run (13 Amp) . So radials are fine , 1.5mm or 2.5mm twin and cpc can be used .
@@dennisphoenix1 I thought 1.5mm was ok too but got a surprise when I dug a little deeper on the trip curves for BS1362 13A fuses. A 13A fuse like that used in a FCU will happily take 20A steady, all day long, whereas 1.5mm is getting a bit hot and bothered at 17A. I changed to 2.5 for my ongoing radial as a result. Always like headroom, less stress, longer life.
@@MS-Patriot2 if you look at fusing that way a 3036 would carry 60 amp . Feeding a 2.5mm ring main it overloads both ring cables assuming it's a perfect ring . The likelihood of a constant 20amp load I would suggest in this instance is slim .
@@dennisphoenix1 completely agree in this instance. Are cables underrated, I.e. will tolerate much more current than spec. before degradation? Using just the trip curves and cable specs. there does seem to be a contradiction. Thanks for your insight, I’m absorbing and challenging my knowledge all the time.
@@MS-Patriot2 if you read any forum or you tube post sparks are pedantic and opinionated. I know 🙄
Where’s James please
How about you watch the video?
@@ninjainabowlerhat ok Mike thanks
Think he said he's back at college.
Great job 😎
