"It's Ok To Spur From This" |Awkward Weatherproof Socket Installation

[@rayc1503]

Respect to you Delroy for always keeping it real. Great upload but seemed a little short. Times flies when you're enjoying something 🙏🏽.

[@tresslerj1985]

Beth those quick mk socket's with leaver connection s would be a god send about now. 6:14. A greased up racing snake would struggle in there. Good job Del nice one!

[@Homerlad]

I used them this week found them a bit bulky for a 25mm box.

[@aaronl9379]

Mate when u said about people getting electrical shock at college I busted out laughing 😂😂😂😂😂, great video mate keep it up always love the content 👍🏾!!.

[@mikeZL3XD7029]

Aaron L, That was gold!

[@robertpeters8531]

Great video mate love your calm demeanour and how you don’t flap about in a tizzy. I’m not an electrician I’m a plumber and was thinking of doing the domestic or part p to add another string to my bow. Wanted to ask you is the part p worth doing or is it far too much to try and cram in.

[@ukmal67r81]

Great vid Del! I’m lazy I would of just made up a 2G small extension lead and just plugged the new external socket into that with the washing machine 😁

[@yensabi]

Nice one Del......some of the places we have to work eh..... Cheers mate.....👍

[@neil6438]

Always a good idea to bend them 3.5mm lugs in at the top & bottom as they can get in the way a damage the insulation on the cable in the boxes with less depth.

[@btmanbirdman1]

If that single socket not in use under the sink, would it not been better to just make that socket a joint and put a blank faceplate on, less change of water getting into the socket terminals , just a thought Del , keep up the good work, love your videos.

[@APSuk2]

The single socket under the sink was in use, check at 1:04, looks like the dishwasher or washing machine is plugged into it.

I am interested in what the stripper is that was used to strip the outer sheath of the three core flex?

Another interesting install. Does that self adhesive trunking actually stay stuck for a long period ? cant see it lasting more than a year

[@madogapllywelyn2254]

Yes sticky back trunking is great as long as the wall is clean and grease free and flat its sticks so well you wont remove it so make sure you put it up straight first time👍

[@OliWarner]

Three 13A sockets off a 13A fuse sounds like a recipe for a series of blown fuses when they're running a patio heater and the dishwasher comes on. And damn that's some janky pointing.

[@rivkahlevi6117]

Ikr! I don't know if I'd even call that pointing. WTF were they doing?

[@scottl7644]

Great video Delroy. Thanks once again. New sub from a month ago. Just going through your videos. Awesome 💪💪💪 Does the foam/glue need to be fireproof as per a CU and what foam/glue did you use? Please if you would 🙏🙏🙏 Or was it just for IP protection and to keep the IP rating of the box up to its spec?? Keep at it my friend. 💪💪💪 Best regards, Scott. ✌️🙏✌️

[@darrendoubleu_]

Great video. Loved your story about people electrocuting each other. 😂

The man who did that sockect underneath the sink and waste needs his head examined

[@yensabi]

Kitchen fitters.....????

[@Torchedini]

Might been a from before a previous remodel and the sink was somewhere else. The Piping looks pretty trash and a just made it work situation as well.

[@tresslerj1985]

The old plumbers Vs sparks battle. No coordination.

[@steverobinson8170]

Probably an existing socket when the kitchen was remodeled just needed to be bought into the cupboard

[@nickryan3417]

Yeah, the concept of an electrical socket directly underneath a sink is pretty scary stupidity...

[@latersow8425]

Thumbs up for not having cables flapping about!!

[@chrisardern4594]

Easy job Delroy nicely done. I must say your videos are getting better short enough to be interesting and you dont waffle on like some of the others on YT talking about Socks and then their is the other one who just likes the sound of his own voice and getting himself on the right camera angle you know who you are.

[@steveosshenanigans]

Dam right Chris 👍

[@MS-Patriot2]

Yeah, that latter one is almost a ladies soft porn episode, quite vomitworthy on occasion.

[@danhatcher7455]

Not joking. Stopped watching 90% of YT electricians for this reason. Delroy is the master of the succinct. Others need to watch & learn.

[@lsarjant]

Electric socket under the sink????

[@no_short_circuit]

HI, can anyone tell me where to get the Mains Isolator Switch with RCD shown at 1:33 in this video?

[@Ad-gn8pl]

You've got the meter on the right and rewireable box on the left. In the middle of them is the RCD, it looks like an isolator (and in effect it is). So the RCD is external to the CU but protects the CU.

[@no_short_circuit]

@@Ad-gn8pl Thanks for taking the time to reply. I understand that but I'm trying to find a supplier for the tails isolator with the RCD built in ( the box in the middle as you describe it)

[@Ad-gn8pl]

@@no_short_circuit ah sorry..I miss read.

[@Ad-gn8pl]

I'm no spark by trade but couldn't you use an empty 4way CU with an incomer type RCD and 2 blanks for the spare ways?

[@realestateservicessaleshea99]

When you remodel you should make sure everything that needs access is accessible! Nice job. 🥃🥃🍺🍺🍺🍿🏌🏻‍♀️ Stay safe. Retired (werk'n)keyboard super tech. Wear your safety glasses.

[@chrisardern4594]

Not when the kitchen fitter played with the electrical system they are almost as bad as plumbers. Very little though practically now planing.

[@stephenhunter70]

I wonder who was the bright spark who decided it was a good idea to put the inside outlet there?

[@Craigcul]

in that position right under the sink so close to water should the socket also have been waterproof?

[@kevinmccormack5192]

Nice and neat Del👍 awkward position

[@bertiebassett1972]

First day at college the tutor asked "who here is left handed"? Two guys put their hands up. "One of you will probably die" the tutor snapped. "That's abit strong ain't it?" I asked "Well if they touched a live circuit with their left hand the electricity will travel through their heart 'on the left' to their feet wouldn't it? So statistically they're more likely to croak it" Happy to be a righty I thought 😉😊

[@SjJ-SJ]

Hi, I've been seeking a proficient electrician for sometime, came across this video in my feed today. Great job! I'll be contacting you in the morning. Located your details on Check A Trade 😊

[@bbr9707]

If someone gets a shock… get there wallet before they come round,🤣

[@trespire]

Working while lying on your back, upside down, holding your head at odd angles. That will keep you fit and strong even as the years advance. Neat job, looks good.

[@001Neal100]

Christ they've tiled around the sockets 🙈🤷🏻‍♂️ how we gonna get the covers off in the future!?

[@dougsaunders8109]

Good luck if you need to check what’s going in the back

[@MAMDAVEM]

would have been wrong to have fitted an rcd protected external socket?

[@mr.g937]

You can unscrew the P-trap you know...

[@kreetins]

And work in sewer smell? Better not if you can avoid it. Plus old seals might not seal again after that. Let sleeping dogs lie.

[@houseoftheted637]

I thought outside sockets needed a switched fused spur ? Maybe I'm wrong

[@chrisardern4594]

And what did you think the FCU above the worktop was operating?

[@houseoftheted637]

@@chrisardern4594 missed that part. My bad 😎👍

[@Darkonon]

No they don't, RCD protection and only 1 spur off 1 socket does not need a fused spur

[@CallumAtwal]

You might choose to do one anyway so you can turn the outside socket off if you wanted to

[@Ad-gn8pl]

Nothing to say you need a fused spur but you do need RCD. I prefer to have a fused control in the house so I can turn the fairy lights off from the inside lol.

An old favourite to an apprentice was go and stick that pendant on upstairs then get the never and stick it on insulation test, you would then hear ahhh f--- that's live take the merger away and say you what no it isn't what you on about it's not connected yet 😆😆😆 we were asked at college what would you do if your colleague was getting an electric shock? I said pinch his tools 😆😆 naturally you wouldn't you would get a wooden handled broom or something insulated.

[@adierob1]

Get the megger not never !!

[@bbr9707]

Do like masterseal sockets… quality but expensive!

tickles getting a shock i build valve amps getting shock of 500 volts DC 500 MA is not fun

[@trespire]

@ian forster That's a lot of energy your handling. Presume you're familliar with Lock Out Tag Out principals, if you're working on the same bench setup, having an easy convenient and robust denergize for your valves should give you peace of mind, amd make life that bit easier.

[@johngoard8272]

Jeez Delroy that was a dickens of a place to have a socket just amazed me what some tradies will do eh??

[@jan-dr1xl]

twatting them with a bit of wood was the method we were expected to follow as part of the the first aid bit of the old AM1 exam.

[@chrisardern4594]

Working on a site once and my m8 decided to wind up the apprentice by laying on the floor while holding a cable pretending to be getting a electrical shock the apprentice actually hit him with a shovel and broke his arm we all thought it was hilarious but that was back in the day you could have a laugh on a building site those days have unfortunately gone.

[@callumsimpson7483]

It’s hurting me to see you working with that pipe in front of the socket like that. I would of just unscrewed it. As long as u don’t damage the washers u can just screw them back together pretty easy. Worse case scenario is a quick visit to screwfix to replace the washer if it leaks 🤣🤣🤣
