Discuss CU Tails in the Electricians' Talk area at ElectriciansForums.net

As the others have said this myth stems from the OSGs one-size fits all solution.
Thats most likely the biggest problem with most of the comments and questions on the site, people are using the OSG as a replacement for the regs and missing the point of the last word in the title of the book.
Yes there are regulations quoted in there but with the little pictures its taken as gospel that this is how it should be.
Perhaps it would be better to call it the dummies guide but then we still have the 'G' word in there.
 
As far as I'm concerned the "mandatory" 25mm tails applies to rewires and new builds.....


If the OSG covered all situations it wouldn't fit in your tool bag!
