cable clips into brick/concrete etc!

How about some nice containment, like tubing solvent sealed, making a nice professional job

What would be the purpose of UV resistant cable/flex, like mentioned above, existing then?

No purpose at all....but makes great sales promotion in B&Q

How this thread got on to type of cable though I dont know! :smiley2:

Well your on about clipping a cable on the outside, so the type of cable is relevant, You do tend to get the unskilled / badly trained, clipping T&E onto the outside of house's, Which is crap as it deteriorates in the sun.

To be honest, Pvc is what I expected it to be.....In my opinion any cables clip to a wall is just, bad practice, but this is the difference between house bashing, and commercial.

Thanks for responding Tazz, still unsure why you would have thought it was PVC, but it doesn't really matter.

I shall give both the pin plugs and P-clips a fair trial!

It's a matter of opinion I guess, I personally would rather see an unobtrusive black cable neatly clipped than plastic conduit. But i'm not a fan of plastic conduit full-stop, it has its uses but i'd sooner install steel.

If it was my house then it would be MICC if it had to be clipped round the outside, far less obtrusive than any other option if you do it right.

It can get frustrating Peter but amongst the many 'random tangent' bits you generally get some useful information from some helpful members. The trick is to ignore the other bits (which I didn't do too sucessfully here :smiley2 and try and remain polite.

Amongst all the other bits, I have learnt about pin plugs and P clips, so I have got some useful solutions to try out so am happy!

But there is a lot of experience here Peter.
