Hi all,

I'm hoping some of the electricty regs gurus can help with advice on
meter tails.

Shortly I will be beginning an extension which forces a move of
electricity meter. I have all of the info about getting the meter
moved and where it can be located, but I cannot find any information
about the meter tails. What I need to know is the maximum length
allowed and what is / isn't acceptable for the routing of them.

My ideal position of the meter is not accepatable due to water pipes
on the other side of the wall within 30cms of the meter so I have to
go to plan B. Is it acceptable to run the tails vertically through the
cavity into the ceiling void, horizontally for approximately 2 meters
and then out of the ceiling void into the consumer unit?

Regards,
