Liking the coax support blocks - do they sell in this country?

Don't know about that supplier. We use a lot on mobile phone sites so our suppliers are normally Graham Smiths for that kind of stuff.

I really rock that look when I do it and go out... It's surprising how quickly the bar empties.... Easier to get a beer....

or 16mm to first unit, then 6mm from there to 2nd.

Can’t see the point of that to be honest.

As I have been out of the game for a while can you run a single multi core SWA feeding two units from two breakers correctly labelled and then split at a box? Or is this not possible?

Apologies for the silly question its just out of interest.

Yea that could be possible

It’s possible to do it, but I would question whether it is the most sensible way to do it. We quite often do it in stage lighting installs with 12 or 19 core SWA for groups of dimmer circuits going to the same location.

However for general power installation like this keeping everything separate gives complete separation should a fault occur, and makes it simpler to move one supply in the future if necessary.

If you have to produce a perfect looking run then I’d be looking at doing it in steel conduit, getting SWA to sit perfectly straight on external walls which are never perfectly straight or smooth themselves is not possible.
