I have been using grips on SWA for 25 years and now from this video and some comments i find out i have been doing it all wrong all this time, seems i might scratch or dent the soft brass or get a splinter. Doh

[@ptrhattingh]

On some jobs like crossrail, if they see a mark on the gland or piranha nut, its coming off and getting redone. So you only use toothless grips or adjustables. But for everything else, always grips

[@josephh3557]

and them 25 years ago probs still work once tightening a brass nut isnt gonna do no damage ive never heard so much crap in my life look at what the "new" "correct" way gets u (from other installs) - flimsy cheap switches and conduits what disintegrate or cause a problem within the first year or 2, being picky is okay ish but scraping the barrel is just a headache :)

[@tcpnetworks]

Awww damn... seems that we've all been doing it wrong according to the Internet.

[@dextergodfrey7086]

Grips are fine, jeeze...anyway back to the real world ;)

[@lukewood1591]

an abrasive surface left behind could create a spark if it was to come in to contact with another type of metal in certain environments could be very dangerous????

That burst- out brick caused by the masonry drill would do my head in. It's attention to (avoiding) such calamities that makes for a quality job.

[@benjackson1498]

I'm a sparky working a lot in street lighting and I've always been taught to use two sets of grips to tighten a gland up, how else would you do it? And a little handy tip I've found if you get a decent steel conduit cutter I got a rothenburger one like plumbers use to cut copper pipe ( just make sure it can cut steel) and use it to score the armoured strands on the swa takes half the time and a perfectly square cut every time 🤙. Great vlog as always, really enjoy your content keep it up

I like putting the silicone on the back of the box on the top and sides to avoid the silicone marks on the walls. As always good job 👍.

[@michaelstevens3479]

Spend more on electrics than the cost of shed?

[@ursamajor6546]

Was interested in the conduit between the spur and the socket - and the stuff you pasted on the pipe - but you didn't say a word when you did it. Unusual for you as you normally explain everything very well.

[@lemmykilmister450]

"She's on a different circuit ", is that a metaphor? :-)

[@TheNickwrixon]

The lock nut goes on teeth down if you attach the gland to the box first, teeth up if you fit to the swa first. It's in the instructions on the packet. Also I was always taught to banjo at the start not at the end.

[@chunkauli]

Great channel came across your channel and I really enjoy it I'm a plumber by trade and nice to see a electrician at work 😊😊

[@olec8978]

When I started out I bought a set of grips especially for swa, never met anyone that dosent use them. I personally use one set grips and a large adjustable (or correct spanner if doing several). No one has ever complained. If people are dogging them up enough to splinter they are doing it wrong. Grips to hold, spanner to tighten. That's my way If I had 2 sets of grips in front of me and the spanner was all the way in the van with one gland to make off would I use them. I think you can guess the answer to that 😉

[@besafelondonelectrical9198]

When you already hump half a ton of tools up several floors because no trades men are allowed to use the lift, what your gonna say is damn I'm gonna have to go back down for my spanners because all I got is adjustable grips 🤔

[@paulcockcroft8920]

Adjustable spanner and grips for me, why carry both when your grips are adjustable too?

[@DaddyBear3000]

My ToolStation is actually pretty good. A guy walked up to the counter and started giving the police profile of the bit he was looking for, the woman stops him mid sentence and says, “have you got number mate? No, then the catalog is over there, come back when you know what you want. Who’s Next!” I nearly gave her a high-five 😂

[@superseven220]

It's amazing the amount of idiots who go intro Toolstation or Screwfix, go straight up to the counter without even looking at the catalogue, and then waste everyone else's time by entering into a long discussion about what it is they're looking for! They clearly don't get the concept of the catalogue, either that or they lack even the most basic skill of copying down a part number 😒

[@victoriagale4090]

Or it means the staff at toolstation don’t have a clue themselves and only need you to give them a catalog number because if ask them advice it goes over the heads may aswell work at Argos the same job .

Victoria Gale it means they aren’t clairvoyant. Trying to guess what the hell customers are trying to buy when they don’t have a clue themselves. They are customer service people, not traders with years of training. 99% of the time they try and help, but with a queue of traders waiting who do actually know what they want.... oh and try walking up to an Argos desk on a busy day and describing in piss poor detail what you’re looking for without know what it’s called, what it’s for or how it works and see how overjoyed they are 😂

[@superseven220]

@@victoriagale4090 if you don't know what you want You're better off going to B&Q, Homebase, or a local DIY store. Toolstation and Screwfix aren't set up for people who haven't got a clue what they're looking for.

[@victoriagale4090]

If you sell a product you should have some knowledge in what your selling and if you go to screw fix or toolstation granted you should already know what you want but most of them where I live have a trade counter ,separate room where you don’t get the little old man just asking for advice and expecting the person to be able to help him . If your waiting in the queue at the general open to the public desk your in the wrong place and should expect the general public to be not as savvy it’s going to take longer .

I have watched a few of your video's but this ones made me subscribe. I have OCD when it comes to waterproofing outside electrical equipment (over a decade working with submersibles). First video I've seen with the IP rated sockets/spurs fitted correctly with a chance of not letting water in . I say chance as there designed to allow some water in. I've seen water ingress through the factory fitted knock outs on the top surface so your fighting a losing battle. A question I would like to ask is it common practice in a domestic setting to do top entry on outside fittings as I see a lot of these but in the water industry and other industrial environments top entry is a big no no due to it increasing the chance of water ingress? Also something that may help others is that I have experienced over time that sockets, junction boxes etc outside resist condensation better if they can be placed so they see the sun at one point of the day. Sorry to waffle top vid and look forward to more.

[@dennisphoenix1]

When I have worked on industrial sites top entry is not allowed. Always bottom entries .

What stuffing glands did you use for the Schneider boxes? I find a 20mm leaves a gap?

[@aj010139]

Since stuffing gland wasn't mounted on top horizontal surface, only ip2x and ipxxb applies in the case of the gap your referring too.

[@alexgiddings8171]

Hi mate. So to clarify you broke into the ring main? Didn’t see what you did internally. I was doing this today, broke into my ring main (double socket) and extended to a fused spur (5AMP). The load then goes into a smart switch. From the smart switch there a cable running through the wall (used a metre drill) into a whiskey box and have two LED spots. There are hard wired so no armoured. I am planning to run 1.5 armour cable from the whisky box in and SWA to a third outside light, bollard light. So from my ring main I have added potential 3 LED exterior smart lights. Sorry for the ramble but your video appears to back up my process was sound?

Sounds ok

Hi mate, I'm a trainee spark who has just completed his level 2 at college. I've been asked to do a similar outside socket for someone. Can you tell me which drill bit you used to make that hole. Also, am I right to say you actually drilled through the socket back box and through the wall?

Do those Schneider joint boxes need a tool to open them? Only ever tried the larger ones that had screws. I'd have earthed the armour at its source for reliability. Two parallel earth conductors wouldn't be my aim but wouldn't do any harm, it would have lowered the Zs slightly. Lots of the time it's impractical to test the rcd on a split load board, you just don't know if they have an iMac upstairs that's permanently on or the burglar alarm they've left off for the day is going to get upset.

[@jeffreyfoard9439]

On some high spec jobs data centres, civils projects like tunnels, You use gland spanners and it's just so the brass doesn't get scored by the grips.

[@xanderathome]

And ATEX certified glands.

[@raychambers3646]

I think I would have put the spur indoors. Do the swa up with whatever you have,I use a spanner for lower half and grips for top.

[@markrainford1219]

Agreed with spur inside. If it starts pissing it down outside it gives you a bit of "remote control"

[@Cjrelectrical]

Client didn’t want the wall chopping out .

[@dringonator6911]

Wow. That’s the old Ni-MH Makita. SDS spit on drill. Unfortunately I had to sell mine.

[@Esriuptime]

You've tightened the piranha nut incorrectly. The gland should be tightened by holding the piranha nut whilst tightening the gland from the outside. That way the brass teeth cut through any paint and make a firm contact with the steel (or plastic) surface. By tightning the gland using the nut as you suggest, you will round off the brass teeth if a steel box or gouge the material if a plastic box. Either way you end up with a scruffy job..

[@2Sorts]

I always keep those ‘knockouts’. The amount of outside sockets I’ve seen with them missing is considerable. I just replace if I see any missing.

Great video, a question if I may, the schneider box for the outside light, dose this box have to be accessible! or can it be enclosed in a loft space, I take it the black wire is from the outside light in your video! in my case because the schneider box will be enclosed in a loft space (inaccessible) I need to link to the future outside light (undecided) would a twin and earth cable be suitable for the outside light/schneider box link or if not allowable what is the correct cable to connect to the light fixture to the schneider box....

And wiring a socket up is BASIC so if you don’t know how to do that then 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@Trade920]

I’m with you on glanding the armoured with adjustable’s, I was always taught that way in my apprenticeship, but the argument people make is that you should use spanner’s as the adjustable’s can damage the heads of the nuts on the glands etc 🤔

[@daron8982]

G Man yes with spanner’s you can get better grip whereas with grips and adjustable you can damage the rigs as they tend to open when using and grips have teeths. The spanner is straight and tough.

[@BritishBeachcomber]

I always use spanners, not adjustables. Just ask a mechanic what's best.

[@MrMedicalUK]

Girly grips might be ok on 16 or 20mm but when you start going bigger its a joke. Come on guys, are you all that much of a bodgit and scarper? Use a spanner, once you have them you wont go back, you can even get thin spanners for the base of the swa glands.

[@nthlevel]

Yes it does, as soon as you do that you lose the IP rating as per the instructions ;) If moisture is getting in you have a problem and when using conduit ensure its outdoor rated to the correct spec. You see too many people using indoor pvc conduit and glands outdoors.

[@jondonnelly3]

It's suitable but I don't like. I'd also not spur off a socket but to a dedicated rcbo. Different building, different circuit. No way of killing power to shed.

[@zaiohellgren9266]

Please do a timelaps of you working

[@briansteer8209]

You shouldn’t use grips fo cable glands because they rough up the surface of the brass gland and that will produce splinters which of course are very painful when they are in your fingers etc Indeed on sites such as petrol chemical and the like you are only allowed to use the correct size spanner for the gland you are working on

[@Cjrelectrical]

Wow splinters is this serious

[@muzikman2008]

Actually, this is true when doing up ATEX/EX glands. i worked for a specialist company doing petrochemical, explosion proof equipment, and several factory acceptance tests were failed due to damage to the glands outer collars, in domestic stuff it's not a major problem, but hey just do the job right with the right tools eh? take some pride in your work... ;-)

[@maveric5381]

No problem using adjustable water pump pliers. I must have made hundreds of swa glands off, never had a problem with damage to the glands.

[@piney6587]

No issues with pump pliers just tend to make a mess of the gland if they slip. All I do is work with swa and my preferred method currently is rotheberger wide thin jaw adjustable, the thin jaws get in all the tight spaces (i recommend them), or I used Cmp swa glands and a set of 24mm spanners. It's when you get an 18" set of stilsons out you start getting strange looks 😉 With regards to your earth nut see the swa Taurus video it shows you how to fit them (1spanner) you screw the gland into the nut not the nut onto the gland so you pull the prongs into the box. I did as you at first and found I had issues with a few later on. Good video and neat work, nice to see someone putting thought into a job

[@tomorichard]

Do contractors up the line (not in Cornwall) really use screwfix....why not proper wholesalers with good quality kit and similar prices
