Pretty much identical to French sockets. Thanks for the video.

In Finland hey put the phase on the right and the neutral on the left. Of course it really does not matter in the end as you can plug it either way. I really like this two side by side compared to the Finnish single double socket one on top of the other. Sure this requires more wiring.

Hi, do you know should the wire cables be protected inside the wall by protective pipes or corragated tubes in residential buildings?

Is it right to say you can’t use multi strand cable in Spain

Hi there. Random Q. What's the best way to cap unused light wiring in Spain? Just twist on caps, or is there a better (safer) way? tx!

I find it much easier to work with electricity in USA than in Europe (and I am European). The sockets are bigger and much easier to wire. The sockets and their housing are also more solid and sturdy, and it is more rapid to fasten them to the studs. I would say it took me nearly double the time to wire my house in Europe vs my house in USA. Of course, it also helps that the current is weaker so that an accident will not hurt you or kill you.

Thanks I was looking for official wiring since I’m also going to renovate stuff soon. I’m the Netherlands we use brown for positive and black is it is after a switch. Absolutely not sure how the rest of the world is handling this. 😂

Calling it a "Spanish plug" is kind of funny. LOL 😂 😂
FIY That's the European standard. As in, from Portugal to Norway it's all the same.
UK just has to screw themselves up as usual. Individual identity or sheer stupidity. You decide...

tip: Get a "double plug" so you don't have to deal with extensions, alignment, etc. One set of original cables and that's it. Save time, work and complications. ;-)

What I hate is that spaniards' method of fixing the outlets to the walls f***ing suck and are LAZY. They rip out so easily. I had to replace them in my flats a couple of times and was shocked to find they do the same LAZY crap in another comunidad when I bought my house!!!

This is not a Spanish plug set-up. It's European. (Sweden, Norway, Germany etc).

So much easier to wire than UK sockets.
