    Some helpful advise if you see a paragon panel rip it off the wall and stamp on it immediately     

  • I converted to security about 6 years ago after being a sparks... I do prefer it but best advice I can give you is make sure you learn as much as you can from your colleagues as the information isn't

  • Don't....    you need to spend some time working at a proper co. ?

That looks good - as a background as a sparks I would have just used 20mm galv conduit - is that stuff easier to install? Obvs galv conduit is a c*nt


Very easy to use, 12mm Diameter only. 
Fir a nice clean but free cut, I use a standard 15mm copper pipe cutter.. nice and neat with no jagged edges

An EOL circuit is 2 wires, these have been twisted together to make pair of cables

 

I'd use a drill, with a hook in the chuck

 

The pic is not my work but that of @PSE

 

mine look better with the lid on ?

My cabling also looks like a F-ing masterpiece when the ceiling tiles are back in?

Nice... What's the prices like on that gear? Had to do a whole job (sparky) in stainless steel conduit before... Nearly died in the process lol

Wheres that? At least the garage door wont end in front of the dB cover when you have it up - that's something ?

Drill with a hook to twist the cables--like that... Your not taking the piss are you? ?

You have fitted some alarms with someone yet?

Never used a hook in the drill myself, I just use a specific Bosch mini 12v drill and bang the pair straight into the chuck. Literally 5 seconds on reverse spin and it’s done, nice neat pairs all looking identical and even twists.

Same bend the ends over for a better grip then trim to size. 

 

Also worked really well with ceiling grid wire, used to get rolls from the skips and do metres at a time and cut to length for fish wires. 

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
