    Use of tie wraps and bunching conductors in DB's

    Didn't some else say it should be locked down ? I don't mind either way.

    Use of tie wraps and bunching conductors in DB's

    True, my wording was clumsy which left it wide open to the scrutiny which received. If whoever is moderating here wishes to lock the thread down then pleased do so.

    Use of tie wraps and bunching conductors in DB's

    Ha no, not a Kent man ! To be honest I'm not a fan of using them and would agree with what people have said above where they may even be detrimental if misused. I think it has been established now that there was not anything specifically included in any of the 17th edition amendments and...

    Use of tie wraps and bunching conductors in DB's

    Easy folks don't get bent out of shape over this. My shoulders are broad enough to take a little bit of over zealous scrutiny on an Internet discussion forum. As MDJ says and I think we all know, on site you have to give and take a bit and that's about it . (Even if we're not actually on site...

    Use of tie wraps and bunching conductors in DB's

    Indeed, I failed to see how the use of cable ties could be forbidden per se, especially if tied loosely and used with common sense just to keep things in order. It's clear that using them to create large bunches of tightly bound single core cables could hamper heat dissipation and would be unwise.

    Use of tie wraps and bunching conductors in DB's

    I understand the considerations for grouping, heat loss, aesthetics, practicality/good practice but it seems no one on here knows of a specific regulation (or interpretation) which guides against. Maybe that's why I never found it. This should help to settle a discussion I had the other day...

    Use of tie wraps and bunching conductors in DB's

    I don't understand what it is that I could be trying to hide to be honest. The short fall is that I only have the latter OSG's at home which don't contain the required detail. MDJ and whoever might be interested in answering the original question, don't bother. I'm quite happy for it to fade...

    Use of tie wraps and bunching conductors in DB's

    I own copies (when I say copies, I do not intend counterfeit) of the 1st and 2nd amendment on site guides. I have access to the full regulations for reference purposes. I will buy the 3rd amendment BS in due course. I have not been able to find a definitive answer to a particular query that's it.

    Use of tie wraps and bunching conductors in DB's

    Reading my question I can see how how you could misinterpret, the wording was unfortunate. To be honest I was just wanting to raise of topic of conversation on which there seem to be mixed views. Of course I didn't intend to say that I shut the 'red book' and didn't bother to inform myself...

    Use of tie wraps and bunching conductors in DB's

    I have asked one specific question, let's not make the assumption that I am carrying out work without an adequate working knowledge of the regulations. I am aware that the 'yellow' 3rd amendment published January, comes into force on the 1st of July and that there are changes to the maximum...

    Use of tie wraps and bunching conductors in DB's

    Hello all, I am told that this is no longer permissible under the 17th edition or one of its amendments. This argument seems to have been going on for some time now. I have the red book but not the amended editions and have not found a specific regulation relating to it there. Of course, I...
