Interesting 4 core flex ...

[Octopus]

Came across this today...

When fault finding a boiler control change ....

Not a piece of swa?

 

[Dave OCD]

Yes it does look like older SWA.

No flex IMO, with red yellow blue.

It doesn't appear to have a cpc, it looks like one of the cores is sleeved green and probably the black of a swa. Or an old flat three core and cpc, not flex at all.

4 core flex

brown, brown, blue and GY

Going back tomorrow to carry on...

Have the browns got numbers on them?

 

[westward10]

I been looking at the wrong bit

 

[Dave OCD]

Ah everybody's looking at the cable in to the box rather than out !

 

[westward10]

That flex isn't that unusual.

On the outgoing Clive yeah.? Never seen that.

This photo is between the outlet plate and the tank stat. The same flex has been used between the controller and the boiler....

I must say I'm a bit puzzled by it - and wondered if anyone here had seen it too.

I don't really want to start disconnecting it ...

Hence the s/wire(with the tape at a guess)

 

[westward10]

I have seen that type of cable many times.

 

[Toneyz]

Can't see what the problem is!

Don't think there is a problem, they are just debating the odd cable, I think

 

[westward10]

It isn't odd.

 

[Toneyz]

I've got some 4 core flex that has the 4th core as red flex fully compliant.

I have seen that before,has it got anything between the outer sheath and the cores?

It was a while ago,but it used to come from RS components,and was used in mobile cabins and the like.

 

[Pete999]

It isn't odd.

OK they were debating the cable that some people thought was a bit different, or something that they hadn't seen before, relating to the colours of the cores within the outer protective sheathing, apparently to some it was something worth mentioning, obviously in your opinion not worth a mention.
