3 wraps of tape ?????

[daza1001]

Doing some building & electrical work this week for a customer. Found live cables buried in wall. Told customer & they said they had paid another electrical contractor to remove these cables & that were previously connected to wall lights. Obvisally he removed wall lights & buried cable.
The customer contacted the previous contractor & he came back to see the problem.
He told me that the NICEIC allow connectors to be burried in the wall provided they have 3 wraps of insulating tape around the connectors. What bull ****. The mater was made worse by that he had not wraped the cables in insulating tape anyway.
What a plank! :snore:

I know it was practice for the lecky board years ago to have six turns on the tails before putting in the meter.

Excluding the bodgit practice i assume burying the cables and removing the lights effectively puts them out of zone too, another breach of the green god bible.

So someone who is supposed to be a spark tries to persuade an actual spark that this is not a bodge?
Interesting.

As this has been alluded to quite a bit, it seems only fair that we educate the younger ones as to what exactly it is we are blathering on about. This is not the original, but I think it is probably the best performed one I have seen. I especially like the ending where Terry Jones is struggling to keep a straight face...
