and if youre using the back of your snips to clip, elbow to wrist makes a good spacingMy hammer is exactly 40cm
They'll find a reg it doesn't comply with so they can have a full day revisit £££££.Not really, a forum is a open debate which anyone can join in. The way the NICEIC brigade go on, its the be all and end all of topic as they have said so.
Not if it's a piece that Pete's done!!!! (revert to the story of his apprentice days)use bare micc. after a few years it will be black.
Since when did what the NICEIC write the regs? If the assesor is wrong you mention it and point it out, not just lick arse like some do on hereThey'll find a reg it doesn't comply with so they can have a full day revisit £££££.
NOTE:HO7RNF is actually a flexible cable so you should imo avoid that for fixed wiring. (Unless you really fancy bootlacing EVERY end?)
No real need AFAICT, provided it's "heavy duty" 521.9.1 (which leaves I think according to this definition only H07RN-F) but it needs lots of clips. Saying that, in a totally wonky timber barn space where the customer will be frowning at visible bits of cable, being able to bend it easily without kinking sideways or having to keep it flat while threading it about. (T&E), I see advantages in flex. I agree ideally should be bootlaced which is a bit of a pain.Why avoid flex for fixed wiring?
Go on....shame me. I do not know the meaning of boot-lacing
you use bootlace ( otherwise known as ferrule) crimps where fine stranded cable is terminated in a screw terminal. this is the ensure that all the strands are in contact with the terminal, and no whiskers.Spoon.
oh bloody hell, that shows how behind with stuff I am, blush.
So, do all connections of flexible cables now need a crimp on the end?
I.E....connecting an immersion heater with some buytle or other heat resistant cable needs to be crimped?
Cheers for the reply Spoon, it is another learning day at Chez Sym
More a matter of sound connections and good practice. No "have to" about it though...all connections would have to be crimped?
Sym
Is boot-lacing twisting the strands of the flexible cables together?
Which is what I would do when connecting multiple flexes.
If this is the case then shallow metal switch boxes would have to be replaced with metal single socket boxes to accommodate for the depth taken up by the crimp when connecting a one-way switch?
Thanks for your time
Sym
