legrand tenby

[mikel]

I have to fit a rcbo in a Legrand tenby range consumer unit, only the local wholesalers don't carry them in stock. Anyone got an ideas where I can get one. Or failing that any other make that will fit that board. It looks identical to the contactum range

its for a cooker, would i be better off just droping some conduit down the stud work,

If you have no galv conduit tools then you can;t do a proper installation with galv tube, unless the runs happen to be exactly handy multiples of 3.4m with only right angle bends. and perfectly straight drops and runs.

it would be straight run down to the back box, then straight down again to below the worktop. its connecting it to the backbox i were the trouble is

Exactly. If the outlet is exactly 3.4m below the switch it would be fine. Not very likely unless the ceilings are quite high or they don;t mind the cooker switch on the wall in the bedroom.

Length of tube is threaded both ends so yo could get one length and just use to ends that way it would be earthed through box.

But you can;t just hack the end of the tube off and poke the 6mm out of the end of the tube.

its a bunglow, i will prob just stick with rcbo

would have to thread it and put a bend on, then would it be ok?

(would mean getting tools)

Not easy if you have no conduit tools.

Rcbo easiest option.

 

[tom1]

thanks for the help rcbo it is

Yes. If you have the tools then galv tube is fine. Have you priced up the tools yet though? The bender is the costly part, nice if you like tools.

Not easy if you have no conduit tools.

Exactly.
