Next question
I need to put a two way switch in at th'old fellas so he can turn the lounge lights on and off from the comfort of his chair.
Theres a 2 gang switch plate by the door, one switch does the light in one side, the other switch does the opposite side. I need to make it 2 way, so a 2 gang/2 way switch next to the chair.
Do i need to run two 3 core &E cables between the switches, or is there a way of doing it off one cable?
Its a bungalow with egg box walls so i can ram a piece of 20mm conduit down the inside of the wall from inside the loft and slide the cable down it.
Why an intermediate switch?
If you have 3 switches on a 2 way you need an intermediate
If its 2 switches then you only need 2 2way switches.
yeah the clear levers are the mutts, fit in back boxes when feeds are to the switch, in regards to the adaptors it annoys me, in my mind wagos in a box with cable restraint does the same thing but manufactures instructions over rule. reg 134.1.1 (on my regs course i by far had the most hammered book everyone else on the course were like new, and opposite to me their OSG was more used.
Don't know haw i missed this thread!
I've been using the Wago connectors in my house for the last 3 Years and they're great, I've run 4mm radials around for the power and they work well on that.
As I'm doing lots of changes in the hallway / landing with moving the stairs around & shifting the front door across I had to rewire the lights as the old stuff was very poor but as I'll need to alter it all again later the Wago's have come in handy!
@mtt.tr are you saying the grey Wago boxes don't comply with the regs here?
We had a socket and aerial socket in a daft position in the middle of a wall. I joined the cables inside the back boxes and routed them elsewhere. I put blank plates on the front. The wall is white so they don't look too bad.
Now the Mrs wants the wall 'misty buff' or whatever they will stand out a mile so i want to get rid of them. It is a block wall with dot and dab.
If i use a Wago box with a cable tie it is classed as maintainance free. Can i then bury this in the wall and plaster over it, meaning i can get rid of the existing back boxes and blank plates.
