Secrets? What secrets? Every time I’ve been to Teneriffe the wiring has been hanging out for all to see. 😂
There's a lot like that, but not just over here in Tenerife but all over the World.
And a cheeky little trip to the Canaries 😉
Tax deductible too.😎
The uk needs to take note. The round box’s that fit square faceplates are awesome
Easier to fit but less room inside.
6:44 "You can join on to as many bends as you feel like. But a maximum of three" Ha ha
Hey we'd been filming for 3 days, I was knacked
@@9plusinstalaciones of course! Gave me a chuckle. Great to see how things work down South
@@obd6HsNIt's just a different system, I personally think it's better than the UK for domestic, but the UK beats any other type of install, one of the reasons for this is we just don't have the selection of cables and containment, here you'll not find galv trunking, SWA, MICC.......
Really enjoyed this video. Great presentation Gordon. 👏 👏
I love the use of transparent covers.
This video’s working title was: “HOW TO GET YOUR HOLIDAY IN THE CANARY ISLAND EXPENSED”
Or the reality - I took a day out of my holiday to visit a long term supporter of the channel.
Interesting...
I used to use grey for strappers when wiring conduit so much easier , brown for feed and sw/ line .
I just run all feeds in, in black
I wonder what Nicky Bundy of yester year would make of all that Macaron?
Very good content some items would be great in uk
My Apartment in Ayamonte has the same stuff 😎
16:53 That's a Schneider unit.
Slightly aftwards an older Merlin Gerin
"Informativo" !
Keep your European colleagues alive and happy ;) N=Blue, L=Brown, BL=Switching
Can you explain that for me? What’s the difference between line and switching? I’m not English native speaking so I don’t understand what is the difference
Good that all their cable is LSZH, is the plastic conduit LSZH too?
The white conduit is low smoke.
Price of them accessories wow must cost a fortune 😳
This is why we just put up with screw terminals!
The grid system is around the same price as the UK, tax here is between 3% and 7% everything is brought in. We dont get a fancy one unit double socket.
Same price as uk? 1gang 2way switch over here is about £1.50 and intermediate about £3-4 not £15
@@conorhollister2047I'm talking grid system
Something happened to Tenerife prices because when I worked there they were cheaper than UK. Most people filled there suitcases with booze and fags on return. Mine were filled with plumbing fittings and diamond blades. Or he's not getting the correcto descuento.
Prices have increased immensely over the last 10 years.
@9:29 Unless you were wiring an old German appliance, which may have had a red earth conductor.
Wow, those prices for switches... Also, no radials? Seriously? That would seem to make for a huge number of breakers. Just what the electrical difference is between three sockets in a single box (allowed) and three sockets in separate boxes (not allowed), I have no idea. Also, IP55 is most certainly not completely waterproof. I think that UK external socket enclosures tend to be IP66, and even those aren't wholly waterproof. Incidentally, I do like the idea of mixing makes in a CU. The devices ought to be produced to a standard set of physical sizes. A lot of the regulations on this just pander to the manufacturers.
Yes prices have shot up over the last 10 years or so. So yes we don't use rings or radials since 2002 we loop into the register boxes and join up all the individual circuit supplies there.
They are actually IP44
@@9plusinstalaciones At least it's not one breaker per box then, but not being allowed to daisy-chain sockets seems to me to be very wasteful on wires. So two boxes fairly close in the same room must have their own dedicated wire back to the registry box duplicating much of the route and taking up more conduit space. I suppose there's a good reason, but I'm not sure what it is.
@@TheEulerIDYeah so you normally have a box per room, you run the supply from the board or another box to them, it's a spider system, runs are normally short and it there's any damage, drilling etc you can just disconnect in the box and fire back up without having to exchange the cables. In a round about way, it's a lot easier to fault find
@@9plusinstalaciones Hi dude! How are you? I’m gonna start speaking in Spanish cause is easier for me haha Cómo estás compañero? Soy de Uruguay y nuestro sistema eléctrico es muy similar al español, la única diferencia es que estamos in poquitos atrasados en materia de seguridad. Por donde puedo hacerte unas consultas para poder hacer una instalación de excelente calidad?
More videos on workimg in tenerife?
We sure have 👍🏻
15:45 - IP55?
No IP44
Do you have any jobs for me
I can see this efixx meeting "RIght how can we book a holiday on the business"
Off to Portugal on Monday for content
