Can you see it yet?

[JOEPRO]

I am using one of these instead. Type A + C. Can be turned completely off and isolated easily. And can be moved around to any socket as I see fit to charge a worklamp etc.

You need a £350 label maker kit then .

Whatever you do, don't let your children or grandchildren use the label printer.
"Kettle", "Toaster" etc will be stuck on all appliances.

Update

Hi,

I would like to check is there only one configuration available for the knock outs on your metal clad socket range please? The boxes that came with various fittings all come with 3x 1 hole knockouts and a double hole knockout but only 1 pair of fixing lugs.

Which means the offset trunking is unavoidable per the attached photo using Contactum products unless there is another box type available? Other brands such as Click etc have centrered knockouts so this is an unusual problem to encounter & is unacceptable from an aesthetic point of view on new installations.

Hello Joe. Thanks for contacting us.

Yes, we only carry the 1 version of the metalclad boxes. Ive passed your comments on to our development team for their information.

Thanks for highlighting this to us

Kindest Regards

So its a good job I came up with my own solution then!

It's not just children, a friend of mine who has OCD asked if he could use my lift so I printed these stickers. You should have seen how hard he was trying not to let them annoy him.

Yes good joke, I can't see any safety risk at all.

Maybe also label your brake clean can as "Fire Extinguisher" when at it?

Think about it logically for a second.

Not only by the good level of detection but also with anti tamper in modern alarms and online monitoring by the time someone starts to read wire labels it'll be way too late for them! Never going to happen and all installers label alarm wires it just makes sense you can read the board labels anyway too.
