can You wire a house in flex?

[VoltzElectrical]

is it (theoretically) possible to wire houses in flex?

 

[Electricalserv]

Why not? if its mechanically protected and cable calcs have been done then why not?

 

[johnthesparky]

yes, as above... as long as its designed it is fine.....

have you got alot of surplus flex then? or just rich? lol

 

[Paul.M]

Of course you can, its just harder getting the cable through the walls with a moulded plug on the end

no, purely hypothetical, and i always thought you could. It comes from a question I overheard one nobber spark ask another trying to catch him out. He said, 'why can't you wire your house in flex? - dunno - 'because there's no tables for it in the regs.

Now this was a couple of years ago, and I came across him recently and it sprung to mind. In the meantime i've done the regs, and there in the appendix are the ccc for flex for anybody to see.
