RE: Wylex consumer units - type C required

["Brian G. Reynolds" <brian.g.reynolds@xxxxxxx>]

I suppose we are all more interested to get things right in our own
places.

It is very hard pulling wires when on your own but I do find it quite
gratifying when you know you have done a good job and of course when you
DIY you are not worried about the time...time being money etc...

The local shop I mentioned, and often do, sent a young lad round to fit me
a new consumer unit about 1 year ago and I was amazed at his quality of
workmanship.

He had to run a new earth wire from the box to an earth point(/0 and I saw
him making sure the wire ran true along the wall, a true pro.

I mentioned this to his employers and they said he is a good worker and
thanked me for my praise. I think we as a nation are all to quick in
criticising work but seldom give praise when due.

Brian

Funny - its for my folks as well and it is the old cartridge type. It
looks
like I am going to have to change out the box for a din rail one.

Have you noticed, we as HA'ers do a much better job than professional
electricians? (I know I am just going to get flamed now)

Cheers

Hi John,

I have an excellent electrical shop nearby that I buy all my electrical
stuff from but I did notice in B&Q Warehouse they had rows of all
this
stuff, give them a try?

I am not sure on this but I think the Type C can not fit into these
boxes?

The Type C fits on a din rail but if your box has the old cartridge
fuse
holders I am not sure if they can be converted?

Actually, my Mum has an old fuse box with the Type B's in and I am meant
to
be getting this changed as she can not shut the lid, shoddy
electricians
changed it after her house was flooded!

I would be interested how you get on.

HTH,

B.
