Quicker isn’t always better (Im sounding old now)

Used loads of them, especially when bonding up those nice chrome towel rads in bathrooms - they look MUCH better then Tenby clamps (design circa 1845!).

Some corrections - they do comply to BS951. Probably takes just as long to install as a Tenby mind but customers don't mind them on their nice £1,000 towel rads whereas they HATE Tenby's

I've used loads of em - both 15mm and the 22mm sizes. We've been down the 'does/does not comply' route before. As far as I am concerned. they comply fully. There was a very good thread about this on the IEE site not long ago. TT

They are now BS 951 certified. If not I will send every member of this forum 1p (I am a gernerous sort of chap!)
