Right ... Just been nudged to set this up by Paul.M and sounds a good idea following recent threads I've done in the Arms..

Rules....No Offensive material... edit if required before posting as this is the public arena.
Anything to do with the trade or in and around it ...H&S pic's welcome.

Oh, for a bit of green sleeving!

Is the outgoing white cable FP200?

Hi-Tuff I believe - though forget the official designation. Has a flexible metal sheath that is connected to CPC along it's length, so can be used in place of armoured in some circumstances (though it was only a short feed to another socket in this case).

HiTuff (NYYJ) doesn't have a metallic sheath, it has an insulated CPC... at least all the HiTuff I've ever bought has. If the insulation on the live conductors is silicone rubber (it looks like it might be), it's an FP series cable unless I'm much mistaken.

Yes I think you're right that it's not Hi-Tuff. There was some left over from an a/c install on site which I was asked to use. I checked it on a previous visit for suitability and can't find the note I made immediately, but I have a feeling it was BS8436, which is low Emission cable with similar properties to FP (which is BS7846 I believe). (Both listed in 522.6.204 as suitable for burial <50mm though it wasn't used for that in this case).
