Well big boys, Tony and E54 etc, if you're that passionate about it, why don't you start hassling the people who are perpetrating all this rubbish.

Whinging away on an Internet forum will get you now where.
I don't know the answer,but I'm sure there is one.

Tony, you're retired now, start lobbying or something (I don't know!), with Wifi you can do it from the pub.

Archy, valid area of discussion, more than happy to participate, but it really needs it's own thread as it will seriously derail this thread more than we already have, I would suggest the Pub but I cannot see or post in there.

This one developed quite well, with a few frayed tempers along the way http://www.electriciansforums.net/e...67808-eca-esc-announce-major-partnership.html

These jobs are being done on a price, this board was part of an upgrade on a property, if I told you the price for changing this board it would bring a tear to your eye. I does mine uke:

Absolute Rubbish!!

You'll have far more chance of the Separate CPC's failing, than the metal containment system. Along with more chance of failing compliance on conduit fill ratio's. ....lol!!

Next you'll be telling us to run T&E cables in metal containment systems...

I have always thought you would see a lot more metal conduit/trunking systems were most people not running in unnecessary cpc's. 25% less cable, smaller trunking/conduit runs etc. Then along comes mr. 'just in case' who decides to start speccing Cpc's in tube and it becomes un-cost effective. So now, to keep costs down, instead of proper all metallic conduit systems we have twin in basket. - brilliant!
The prophecy is entirely self-fulfilling - sparks don't do as much conduit and are less quick at it, costs of conduit etc. rises as less is used, cost of T+E and basket falls as more is used. and suddenly conduit becomes a rarity.

Which is safer in the end. - An entirely metal conduit installation with no cpc's. Or hundreds of twins with single strand cpc's strung around in basket?
