Electrician Jobs New build strap banding everywhere.............

[7029 dave]

Hi all, on a building site 70 new connection, noticed all tray work for cabling etc , cable tied plus metal strap banding everywhere. This new regulation is extra work, phew glad I don't do installation work anymore.

Some more information please @SSE

 

[7029 dave]

The only info I can give is what I stated, to add the tray work an cabling is above, think it will be above false ceiling, hence the additional strap banding, to stop it all falling round your ear holes in the event of a fire.? lol

I'm working on a site, the company doing the testing aren't doing any dead tests. . . Whatsoever.

Industry is going to poo

We use all band for t&e,looks crap

 

[Pete999]

Use buckle clips

With the new installs now it’s minimal tray,then t&e going everywhere,All Band,suits the bundle of cables.
Buckle clips come in on their own when clipping 1 or 2 cables & neatly.

Use buckle clips

I have yet to see them in any wholesalers I thought they'd have made a comeback

 

[Charlie_]

They are in our wholesalers..
Not because they have made a comeback but because we are so far behind the ‘mainland’

I like buckle clips!

Sad, eh?

No!

They are great!

I’m surprised they used tray and all round band.
Tray with metal tie wraps, or fixed to the ceiling with all round band seems to be the norm.

 

[Dustydazzler]

I have seen people now using bandy strap to clip up swa instead of using plastic cleats

Once it’s all up on the wall it doesn’t look too bad

We use basket everywhere above ceilings then clipped direct with cable clips to the wall to where the conduit drops are. we use FP "P" clips screwed at intervals to prevent premature collapse (have been before 18th).

Agreed looks shocking.
