Incoming tail retaining clips

[Skimpy Wan]

Does anyone know where you can buy clips for the incoming tails like the DNO use (figure of eight design)? If not, what do you use to hold them back (SWA glads)?

do you mean for outside the CU? can you not use cleats?

 

[davesparks]

Electrical wholesalers will sell clips of all shapes and sizes

they always use P-Clips

I'm due to extend the tails as I need to dropped the CU by 1.5 metres (from above door to 1350 height for elderly couple). Normally I'd use cleats to hold the tails back, but I didn't know if we could buy similar cleats to the DNO as they have 1 fixing for both tails)?

White P clips with one fixing in the middle would be my shout.
Although I would probably trunk it if on show.

maybe something like:

SEG types - Dutchclamp

stackable clamps.

Like the cleats in this picture?

I've often used 16mm T&E clips on the pair of tails together but more for neatness than 'strain relief' really.

I'll be using SWA cleats if needs be, but didn't know if others had used / bought these so there is 1 fixing etc.

how about sticky back tie wrap holders (screwed on if required) and tie wraps? always works out tidy for me

4" of scrap 2.5 T/E with a couple of clout nails.

If it's surface work then a bit of conduit will look a whole lot better

Sorry, it's in trunking, but wanted to support the cables on the metre drop

No 5 cleat opened up with two screws look pretty neat if the earth is raised in middle of bothe tails , in this instance some containment would look better though whatever it may be

Use the force
