ProDave Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 The cardboard would be correct for an inside view showing you how to connect the cables. Since it gives the stripping details of the cable that is probably it's intended use. EDIT: it even says "Inside view" on it, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProDave Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Yes but the cardboard says "INSIDE VIEW". Take the top off, turn the plug over as if you are about to connect a flex to it, and then compare the inside terminal markings to those on the cardboard and report back. EDIT: Time was you did not need instructions to put a flex into a plug. At a very young age as a boy, my MOTHER showed me how to put a plug onto a flex. I bet it is not even taught in school now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorenz Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 It was an intelligence test at school, left over from the days when they had taught it, bit pointless when nobody was! How many people have round pins these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorenz Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Last I remember seeing any was in my Grans house a long time ago, other than that I think I have seen them with the retro wiring system we were looking at a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToughButterCup Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Just finished wiring in the last 5 Amp socket switched - at @ProDave 's suggestion - from the bank of switches next to the front door. It means that when SWMBO comes home and feels a bit 'jangled' she can switch all the 5Amp lights on at once (and she can switch them all off on the way out of the house). Thanks Dave.

How many people have round pins these days? The same principle applies to fitting a flex into a square pin plug. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
