Doing up a workshop with offices out the back.
The supply is in the offices, as far as you can get from the workshop.
There is now a change of use in the workshop, and there will be some quite hefty stuff moved around.
In the workshop area all the current electrics are in T&E clipped direct...
When running surface mount T&E in offices and shops I have been in the habit of running it in conduit or mini trunking for the added protection.
Working along side another spark who asked why I bothered, he just clips direct along walls etc.
I realised that I could not remember why I started...

Hi Guys,
We sell alot of T&E and we get it from a variety of suppliers but I'm not sure if I should carry the boxed stuff or the original rolls. It doesn't matter to me but its what the customer wants.
Which do you prefer? Or which would you buy if you had the option?
For integrated / fixed appliances, having a fused switch spur can you then run t&e to a ko box behind the appliance and connect the flex to t&e via a terminal block? covering with a blanking plate.
Is there a reference method for just clipping T&E to a wall - Not enclosed in conduit / trunking but just clipped. Or is this a frowned upon method and shouldn't be done.
Just having a discussion and this question come up.
Answers on a postcard job :)
Hi guys,
The above is due to there being 2 existing units.
Would the best thing to do be to terminate all in an adaptable box then onto the new CU?
Cheers

I have 3mm and 4mm G/Y sleeving and can't see me using the 4mm sleeving. Gonna return it I think. Made the mistake in mixing up cable size (mm²) and diameter(mm) when purchasing:rolleyes:.
Anyway, this 3mm sleeving provides a lose fit on 2.5mm² copper core. Anyone know if provides a 'just...
Is it acceptable to have a KO box under floor boards to run in some T&E and crimp the cable to SWA, having the earth crimped to to a ring tag so it can be screwed into the box with the swa gland earth ring tag?
Hi Folks
I have 1.5 conduit singles running vertical from a bend in 20mm conduit to an angle box.
the plan was to terminate from the angle box onto 1mm T&E.
How can I support the weight of the singles without putting strain on the terminals? It's about two an a half meters from the bend to the...
Gentlemen,
I am adding a new ring and lighting circuit to an integral garage. I'll be taking a 2.5mm t&e cable from a 32A MCB at the main CU into the garage via underfloor, to a small remote CU (20A ring, 6Amp lighting mcb's) in the garage. The main CU will give RCD protection to the whole...
Firstly, Hi, first time poster here.:)
Looking for an expert in 17th regs to point out exactly where it is written that T&E cannot be used outside.
My research has unearthed the following:
T&E specs: Basec 6242Y approval (what does that mean?)
BS 6004 (BS7671 Page 266, defines this as: 'cables...
