So I have chased out for two double gang sockets on a radial re plastered over fitted some nice black sockets. So I have then realised I have made a mistake as I ran one cable through the box and the socket which was then quite tight to get on. Is it still safe? Comply or should I turn in to a radial. Pretty annoyed that i didn't for see this but you live and learn. Any advice would be great
I only need a couple of sockets. Just supplying TV digit box. The socket is on yes I probably get it further up into the corner. It's gone on fine now, just thinking wether it is an issue with it touching the back of the socket. Probably over worrying but no conductors on show. So should be ok. I guess I've learnt the hard way
It's done, stop worrying. If you're really worried though, You could get a real JIB MVQ electrician in.
I can't see what the problem is, the blue route is fine. Or is it that you have made cable too short to wire?
Ha ha your right nffc, never good to share your personal pics on a public forum What about the 4th from right .... Is it a werewolf
Well you only need a tad of the grey outer sheath through the grommet so cut it back, then should be easy enough to route the singles to not touch the socket! Mr. HandyAndy - Really
ah ok Andy yes that would be easier. Obviously the singles will enter through to the other box then with no grey protecting by the grommet.
The grey should stay intact until the last box, I think. So if it interfering with the first box, you won't be able to do that. Mr. HandyAndy - Really
I am starting to think maybe it is best to spur it. like mad hatter said don't think I need to worry about it. As it's just the grey outer insulation touching the plastic on a socket. Plenty of protection there. Just frustrating, thanks all
