Incoming tail retaining clips

[DPG]

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

I would say pretty much always required, especially on anything other than really small cable. They always come unstuck eventually. Daz

I am wondering why it's necessary in trunking in the first place?

I wanted to secure the cables as they drop vertically from the metre before going horizontally into the CU.

I've had these clips from a "Universal meter services" website they usually also sell meter seals, and most other items like isco blocks etc

The Ellis products are neat,but need to be of the appropriate size,so you would need a stock of the sizes you may use.

You can get good quality tie-wraps,with an eyed end,which can be used for many purposes,and in the application discussed here,can be "stacked",by reversing one tie,and fixing both with one screw.

They are available in all colours,and nothing screams "----",like all conductors secured by a colour appropriate fixing.

I did a friends, like this,and a few years later,he said he had meter swap due,and would i turn up,to ensure no sneaky smart telemetry was installed...

We were having a brew,whilst the meter dude set up,and i asked if everything was ok in there...he replied "who ever did this,was proper OCD!"

Needless to say,much mirth was had...

Oddly enough Google brought me to this thread a few weeks back, when I was trying to find something similar.

Unfortunately the new link doesn't provide an opportunity to buy Ellis twin cleats online.

Same here, was wondering about best way to clip some tails to a wooden panel. However, got distracted with this advetorial video showing serious cable clip usage:

I can't quite get my head around "relatively low short circuit level" and 70kA used together!

I just used round cable clips (12mm?). Think I've visited this thread a dozen times now as Google invariably leads me to it each time I search for double clips.

Guess I'll be back in a few months

I've often used 16mm T&E Clips when running a pair of 16mm tails together, it can look really neat . but so many seem to go with 25mm tails as standard now.
