Cable support requirements in 18th edition
In the DIY FAQ it says:-
There are new requirements for all wiring support to not fail as a result of fire (i.e. this no longer just in escape routes). So cables supported in plastic trunking or in plastic conduit will also need additional metal clips. Does this mean that metal clips are required in *all* plastic trunking or only where the wire can fall out? I.e. does trunking running along the floor or on a rafter/ceiling require metal clips? It does make using trunking a bit of a pain and self-adhesive trunking becomes pretty useless as you still have to knock nails or screw screws through it. Apart from the D-Line clips no one seems to be producing hardware to provide this cable support, are there any well thought out systems available that provide the required support, are easy to install and look reasonable? -- Chris Green · |
