Using other cable as bonding

Earth = G/Y

install it as it comes off the drum and let the home owner paint it!! that way no breaking the regs and no trying to explain your self in court...!!! i did read that the earth/bonding conductor has to be sleeved accordingly through out its length entirely not just at connections!!!

Thanks for all your constructive debate on this issue. I shall discuss the issues with the householder. I must admit I am more inclined to install normal green/yellow.

:bulb2: why not compromise. install black cable and clip with green/yellow clips. :lipsrsealed2:

Where did you read that, and how does that sit with the NICEIC's opinion that black should be used as earth and grey as neutral when using 3 core cable, in order to de-neutralise the black?

why don't we just do as the froggies do, use any colour we want. and if anybody disagrees, block the roads, ports and airports with tractors.
