Use of FP200. Will it get messed up by too much flexing?

[Midwest]

I love it when people come on here and “the NICEIC said” as it usually shows how little training they have had.

No different to someone saying I went on a electrical forum last night; a bunch of them said FP2000 is a pain to work with. Only difference is the NIC charge you for their opinions

Not really, a forum is a open debate which anyone can join in. The way the NICEIC brigade go on, its the be all and end all of topic as they have said so.

I don’t see why you need a fire performance cable for this application so don’t really see a reason to use FP200.
Have you considered BS8346 cable such as flexshield? It is designed to be a general wiring cable for surface or flush installations and would be more cos effective than micc these days

tooic?

edited so it now makes sense.

Yes it is.

Yes it is.

I explained the differences yet you chose not to quote that or explain why.

Did you, thats just your opinion, I've already given mine. See, democracy is thriving . And I've not even given you a disagree

Its about debate and understanding, yet you choose to do neither.

Its not one that would be a runner at the debating society. Your only annoyed 'cos you made a spelling mistake.

You must debate in mass then.

Have I missed something here. The non-standard cables issue originated from NAPIT, not NICEIC.

Thats just being picky.

I've been to the Oxford Union a few times; well turned up in an official capacity.

use bare micc. after a few years it will be black.

 

[ruston]

You can get it in black pvc.

as long as you dont squash the tube when youre bending it you can get a decent curve on it for 90* bends, play about with a few bits to get used to forming it, pretty much the same as doing conduit without the spring

NYY-J all the way mate, easy to strip and terminate, tough as old bulls ears, available in up to 5 cores and 6mm (may be more but havnt used before)
Its solid core so sets nicely and is to an IEC standard so perfectly allowable to be used, black 12mm and 14mm clips spaced 40cm apart and your laughing

NOTE:HO7RNF is actually a flexible cable so you should imo avoid that for fixed wiring. (Unless you really fancy bootlacing EVERY end?)

40cm? easier to just clip to the length of the hammer as you go, 40cm needs marking out etc
