Trunking in house (18th edition)

[Toneyz]

Who the hell only relies on the sticky back of trunking....especially on a ceiling?!?!

Data guys.

It isn't that difficult...
Could a cable fall in a fire?
If yes, fix it so it can't...don't use plastic plugs or cable ties, and if in plastic trunking, use internal metal clips, properly fixed...wall-dogs or similar. It's easy to find metal fixings these days, so why bother trying to get round the regs?
Use your catalogues, read them, see what is out there.
You are professional electricians, you keep up to date with the latest trends, you want to use the brilliant new stuff that is better than ever before, so why prevaricate?
Oh...it saves a few pennies?
Try saving a few lives...that is the professional way!
My "plumber" said to me, he thought the cost of the tube supports for push-fit plastic plumbing was ridiculous...made him take them all out...a pack of 20 was £3...
I'd rather he added £20 to the price!
This is a stupid debate, frankly. Anyone who finds that a few clips at 20p each is a deterrent should be in another job.

Now days people use steel conduit and it looks modern and it would stop the cables from hanging or you could chase and cap the cables the get it skimmed.
