Thanks 👍🏻

I'm currently working on a re-fit which was last rewired in the mid 70's, the previous wiring before then, in lead sheathing from the 1930's was all fixed up with turnbuckle clips. Can't help but feel we went backwards to then go forward again about 90 years later.

Great video gaz

Hey guys avid viewer of the electrical community on KZread including the new effix channel, but what I was curious about is - if you are running cable under floor board how essential is it to clip that cable say when access is limited? And is it beneficial to leave unclipped in the event you need to pull the wire after? Thanks!

Just curious, shouldn't the horizontal distance be much less if the cables are clipped to the ceiling as the major axis of the cable is not what is supporting itself, the thickness is. Technically still horizontal but with much less self-support.

Can you please refer me to the documentation for the information you provided at 10.15? Thank you

1, nice taught me stuff I didn't know 2, someone put me on to 'transparent post it notes' on amazon that would be perfect for being able to draw in the OSG without marking it. 3, ta 🙂

You make a great point 🦾

So if you fix a cable along a joist, and then plasterboard over them let's say in a ceiling situation, these guidelines are not applicable?

If It’s not accessible then no but if you haven’t got boards up then best practice too do it

I've Ways thought that the regs and on-site guide,etc, has it wrong. If students make notes to them to make it easier to understand. Doesn't that mean they could have made it better to start off with. They want to follow them but we need another language to read them.

Great point 👍🏻

Just stick to 250mm apart? That's what I tend to do with T&E

I thought there was a new rule that cables must be clipped with metal ties not plastic? Do cables need to be protected with metal covers?

@@GSHElectrical Yes but it should not be a judgment call on an individual whether or not to provide metal clips, I thought it was a mandatory requirement therefore those traditional plastic clips with nails built-in should not be used. Who can say what will collapse in a fire situation and expose cables or if those cables then become a hazard to Firefighters or those trying to exit a building? If cables become loose or hang that individual would be negligent so why take the risk, just use metal clips in all instances.
