Discuss Flex used to connect upto 10 light fittings together over about 20 mts in the Electrical Wiring, Theories and Regulations area at ElectriciansForums.net
why is flex not used more often , it is easier to work with you dont need to sleeve the cpc , doesnt kink as much as t&e , could flex be used for the likes of a final ring circuit , is there anything in the regs that says you shouldnt use it for the likes of that?
Well you're hardly likely to put a lump of T&E, pyro or swa in that situation are you? Think of what shape the outlet of a fused spur isFixed wall heaters always seem to have flex from fused switch as an example that's seen quite often.
No reason why not, but it would be a lot more expensive. Plus how much longer would it take to strip 100 sockets in flex rather than t+e.could flex be used for the likes of a final ring circuit

Personally, I think that would be cool. Imagine how easy and safe it would be to have all the sockets connected by flex with twin-entry bootlace ferrules. No chance of a broken ring that way, plus the sockets would push back with no resistance at all.
Tell me about it !!!
I spent bloody ages this afternoon shoving two lumps of 10mm t&e into a 47mm single back box for a cooker isolator. Absolute ball ache!! :banghead:
or use a double box and switch.
