Can you explain the significance of the "recess above ceiling" in the Section diagram at 0:19? I see it in the on-site guide, but it's not explained there.

Gary or Marcus can you tell me when you drive in an earth rod how many ohms do you need to trip an mcb if it is 100 ohms will that trip the mcb and what time will it take how many ohms must it be to trip an mcb do you need to put in an earth rod for an rcbo to trip also if you put in an rcbo board no earth would the RCBO trip if you get a fault and what is the point ot rod in a TT for an earth when the mcb won't trip can you do a video on this please Cheers

I'd only be worried if it was a normal fluorescent batten instead of a sealed weatherpack which is often used outside in the rain!

In my experience some of these fittings are absolutely fine until you open them up, the clips and mounts get so brittle when they are a few years old, so just opening it to check its specs and cable entry might ruin its rating.

Thanks for the great comment 👍🏻

Very true but they are so cheap nowadays. I even put one up in the loft. And LED fittings are cheap. Chances are if the clips are brittle etc / break, just fit a new fitting. Job done.

I wouldn't even flinch looking at that, bit ugly but it's an IP fitting and it's not getting hot jets or water directly on it, just splashing. As you cover RCD would be what I'd need to see as it's not selv

I went to a shower once they said they kids were getting tingle in the shower i said dont use it seriously on the phone.Went there on a 45amp fuse no rcd.240v cellertaped bulb fitting in shower on wall and metal shower housing screwed to wall and found screw went through the 45amp 6mm cable in the wall.The whole thing became live when someone shut the door.U couldnt rite it unbileivable condemed the lot.3 kids in house showering every night wtf.And to top it an exposed coper pipe going to shower which was earthed all they had to do is touch that and metal work on door the same time.

The 3 shower heads would be more of a concern than any IP rating 😳

[@GSHElectrical]

🤣🤣🤣

[@NeilGardner-l1s]

Just don't drop the soap! LOL :D

[@johnwaby4321]

Yep it always needs a bit of thought 👌👍

Thanks for commenting 👍🏻

Probably safer than an electric shower you can spray water on.

[@GSHElectrical]

Great point

[@wackypeace1135]

It's a monstrosity.

[@GSHElectrical]
