#electrician #apprentice #fusebox This the final video that I filmed as part of a consumer unit changeover. I bring the pre assembled and wired board to site, remove the existing one and carry out the consumer unit changeover. As with all jobs, if I were to do it again I would do some parts of it differently. I cut a slot in the top of the junction box as a cable entry, on future jobs I would d...

How to Fit a FLUSH Socket Box in 5 mins
Add some valves, of course, then you have all the time in the world to get the rad right - just saved me trying to get a plumber in. Thank you.
Thanks for the comment, glad you found it useful 👍😁
You haven’t fit it though - you’ve got to do the cable chase and fix it to the wall!
Need to add on another 3 minutes then!
Love that little m12 sds! 😍
It’s a decent little drill 👌🏻
Did you check how well balanced the phases were in case it need circuits moving to other phases????
No, there wasn’t any need to. The building only has LED lighting, a few small offices, and gas heating; no significant loads to cause issues.
I always twist the ends the double them over .
Always a good idea to fill the terminal as much as possible 👍
Looks presentable and a generally neat job, but should never join main equipotential bonding cables with screw terminals, needs to be a straight through mechanical crimp. You should also do your r1+r2 readings on each circuit with CPC disconnected from the earth bar to prove that the circuit is not using a parallel earth path
Nice . We solder the cable direct to the tape and add a dollop of clear silicon
I always find it a struggle soldering direct to the tape, makes for a tidy connection though 👍
@@moss_electrical_and_plumbing try using alarm cable instead of flex .
Great idea, I’ll give it a go 👍
What's with the wood? you could of moved the Ali plate up to the level you've got the wood and used CW glands on the cables.
Just a different way of doing it. It easier to use the wood to clamp the cables in place rather than struggle to bring them through an Ali plate.
I really enjoy that, thanks for posting it. Why is there a cable tie over the heat shrink?
Glad you enjoyed it. The secondary heat shrink was fitted to bridge the air gap between lugs, it was a little closer than expected so it just gave some extra protection. Sometimes you just have to work with that you have, and that was what we had available 👍
Quality footage👍⚡
Thank you 🙌
You’d think that doing stuff this big they’d have a meter that had a resolution lower than 0.01ohm and a powered crimper/cutter. Good video though
Thanks for watching it Steven 👍
It’s a continuity test . A simple multimeter on milli or kilo ohms would register a better reading . But why bother 0.00 indicates continuity .
@@persona250 well thats why i asked innit. I dont know if just confirming continuity is ok or if they expected actual readings or not
@@SME_Ste they are using the low ohms meter to check the cabling is correctly identified
You’re right, it’s just to confirm each of the parallel feeds are correctly paired up. Recording an accurate resistance reading for cables this big over such a short distance doesn’t achieve much. It’s easier to confirm it using manufactures values rather than the meter.
Nice
Thanks
Excellent vid. 👍
Cheers Mike, thanks for watching 👍
Looks good! What are you spraying before scraping? Are you reusing a Mr Muscle bottle with water or is it a Mr Muscle?
Hi Matt! It’s cleverly disguised soapy water! 👍
Spot on content . Happy New year 🎉🎉👍
Thanks Martin, Happy New Year to you too 😁👍
Attention to detail is spot on Martin 👍love the channel
Thanks Martin! Glad you liked the video 😁
Nice effect, LED tape jobs always take longer than any client thinks. In the new year i’ve a kitchen to redo with LED tape and a new kitchen. How do you approach lighting below kitchen base units when theres a dishwasher door opening?
Hi Steven, thanks for watching the video 👍 It’s tricky when you get an appliance like that. If the client was not concerned about it being out of sight I’d probably router an aluminium profile into the front of the plinth and then fit an opaque diffuser over to it, that way your unlikely to see any of the dots in the tape. You can get loads of different profiles for the tape, this site has a decent choice, I buy most of my parts from here. www.ultraleds.co.uk/led-profiles.html
@@moss_electrical_and_plumbing Just a thanks for pointing me in the direction of Ultra LEDs, Used them for the job and they were very helpfull in helping with selecting the right product. Jobs looks spot on. Thanks again for the info
@@SME_Ste No problem Steven, nice to hear you got it sorted 👍
Why???????
Why what???????????
Clean work! Lots of very helpful tips on how to get the job done cleanly and neatly. Thanks.
Glad it was helpful! 👍
Помню ещё при Брежневе сокращали школы в небольших поселках. У нас в Калининградской обл раньше небольшие школы были даже на хуторах! Ничего не придумываю, так как сам учился по 4 й класс на хуторе.Один учитель на 4 класса. В две смены.Здание школы ещё стоит.
If your using that many zipties maybe try something else
Why ? It’s quicker and works.
Boring
A bit like your comment 🥱
У меня на балканкаре или на исудзу намного быстрее данная операция происходила😮
Done this last 10 years
Nice❤
😊
I know this guy
I heard that rumour too
Quicker if you put some 2.5 mm as a. Hook in the drill.
Great idea 👍😁
As a recently retired Industrial JIB Gold Card approved electrician of 50 years i would say its a decent job,the only thing i would comment on is early in my career working for the biggest electrical companies in England we would never use brass bushes in this type of installation we would use paxolin between trunking and any distribution board,and the bonding earths look a tad untidy perhaps you should have fitted a trunking tee piece and extended the small trunking into the 6x6 trunking and fitted the earth block within the trunking and put a label on the trunking lid showing that the connections were within in the trunking
Hi David Thanks for taking the time to comment. In hindsight I would have fitted a T piece as well, but at the time of installation it didn’t cross my mind. I like the idea of putting the earthing block in the trunking, I’ll consider that for future projects 👍
Looks minted, well done 👍🏻
Thanks, much appreciated 👍
Never knew that Jordan Peterson is also a sparky.
The less educated version 😂
Proud of cutting a few corners?
Not sure what you mean?
Just drill round the edge and use hammer and bolster. It’s only soft block be quicker
Of course
Great video,been a sparks 20 plus yrs in Ireland and still pick up knowledge from the YT sparky videos,great for the industry👍
Hi, thanks for watching and glad you liked it 👍

Pretty decent. But certainly wouldnt put single insulated conductors box to box like that without bushing it...
What would a bush do?
@moss_electrical_and_plumbing u have a gap between boxes therefore Single insulated cable unprotected between boxes. Bush would be like a condit. Although personally, I would ut s coupler between boxes. No way I'd do it like that
There was no gap between the boxes, they are butted up to each other and sealed.
@moss_electrical_and_plumbing well still. Between enclosures... I just wouldn't. Same way I wouldn't do that between two patress boxes. Use double insulated cable, coupler, or Bush.
Excellent video 👍
Thank you very much! 👍
Nice neet job :)
Thanks!
I love how the wires are so pretty and in line. The one's I've come across are chaotic to say the least! lol
Thanks Dave 😁👍
Was it worth the bother? How often do you need to access the board?
It was for me. I love metal work, the client needed the board lowered and was happy with the end result, everyone's a winner 👍
Why did you choose to mount it so low and offset from original position? Seems like you have used a lot of wall space that could have been used for future shelving, etc. and a lot of extra material. Not a criticism, just wondering how you and the homeowner came to the decision?
The client needed it to be lowered for easier access, and wanted to potentially build a cabinet around the consumer unit and boiler at a later date. The garage is huge, so no lack space for racking and shelving at a later date.
It's also embodied in Building Regs now........ AD M1...... switches 1350-1450 off the floor..... Out of reach from kids, but accessible for maintenance, e.g. RCD testing... Like all regs, not retrospective, but if you can bring an existing within latest regs, it's gotta be a positive!
Correct! If it’s feasible to move a board when changing one then I think you should do it.
I always like to come in the bottom Of the distribution board . Nice work.
I thought un protected rear entry was your go to method? 🤔
I like the way the camera follows you around. Is it a 360 camera ?
It’s a DJI Osmo gimbal, you stick your phone on it and it has face tracking in the app 👍
I'm a relatively new Electrician, changed careers in my mid 30s, now 43, and I found this fascinating and informative. Will definitely be looking into this technique in the future for extending boards.
Thanks Rich, glad you found it interesting! 😀Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, subscribe if you’d want to see more videos like this
@@moss_electrical_and_plumbing Cheers mate, will do
This the final video that I filmed as part of a consumer unit changeover. I bring the pre assembled and wired board to site, remove the existing one and carry out the consumer unit changeover. As with all jobs, if I were to do it again I would do some parts of it differently. I cut a slot in the top of the junction box as a cable entry, on future jobs I would definitely install stuffing glands to allow easy sealing of the top surface. Replacing a consumer unit is never the same twice, and every time I do it, I learn new techniques and methods that I try to employ on future jobs. In a previous videos you saw me cut the steel trunking and assemble the board and main junction box, and also pre wire the board and junction box ready to take to site.
Such a good idea to build this offsite, must of made the day much smoother onsite
Thanks for watching. Your right, it made the install much easier in the day. I’ll have a video out soon of the installation on site so keep a look out 😀👍
Typo
Very nice, being nit picky, do you torque the wood rcbo’s. Wiska do a nice din rail push fit kit, but the adaptable box is plastic.
I don’t understand what the typo was supposed to mean! 🤔 I saw the Wiska kit and it look good. I would have used it but it only does up to 9 cables if I remember correctly? This board was quite big so need quite a few terminals
Sorry, the fuse box rcbos have a manufacturers torque setting for the terminals of 2.5 nm
I didn’t torque them on the bench as they would rattle around in the way to the job, I saved that for the final install. This is the video of it being fitted m.ruclips.net/video/Y6lrWJX3av4/видео.html
Awesome job, out of interest why put the bush onto the metal plate instead of though the socket into the conduit?
Thanks mate, much appreciated 👍. No real technical reason for the conduit connection, I like the idea of joint metal to metal. I think it makes rear entry more water tight too as I managed to seal around the hole better than if I’d connected the bush to the socket.
@@moss_electrical_and_plumbing that's fair enough! I guess you also gain the advantage of the metal plate being earthed by the conduit via trunking - Glad I found your channel, good content
Nice neat workmanship x
Thank you! 😊
Hi, I came across this video and its what I was looking for. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I've subscribed to the channel, because it very informative. I understand almost all of it except one aspect, and would appreciate if someone could please help. In the last segment 'Socket' where you put SWA socket to the left of the 2G socket, where does the Earth cable from the SWA gland go? I can see that you take the feed (L & N) and Earth from 2 gang socket on the right. The 3 core SWA cable has its own Earth plus Earth from the Steel Wire. Is the Earth from Gland combined with the Earth (1 of 3 cores) and then connected to the adjacent box? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for leaving a comment, and a big thank you for subscribing! 😁 The Earth from the SWA is terminated with the Earth in the cable in one of the socket terminals 👍
@@moss_electrical_and_plumbing Thanks, got it. So, I just combine (join) the Earth cable (1 of 3 cores) with the Steel Armour. And repeat at the other end. (I hope I understand you correctly. Cheers!
I think what moss is saying is that in the earth from the gland and SWA enter into the socket earth to terminate them. At the CU end both of these earth's will be connected to the earth terminal bar
In this video I second fix a consumer unit that I pre built to install on an upcoming job. In a previous video you saw me cut the steel trunking and assemble the board and main junction box. In this video I install the cabling between the consumer unit and junction box and second fix it.
