metal cable clips, 18th edn
Metal cable clips are required for cables that could otherwise collapse in a fire in an escape route. My question is, can one use just enough of them to keep the cable there in a fire, or does every single clip have to be metal?

Brian When a flat in a tower block in SOuthampton caught fire, the firefighters wearing breathing gear got ensnared by cables that had drooped down from the ceiling because the trunking and or clips had melted. |

A problem with that kind of approach is if you end up abrading the cable with thermal expansion cycling. OK, the nail can be sleeved :) It's 10mm2 main earth bond cable. NT |
