Outside bonding

[Newpark7]

Hi all

Just carried out bonding upgrade to oil boiler & water cables are run externally clipped to building about 25 metres as quoted. Customer has now decided they don't like the colour and wants them covered. Has any one got any suggestions as to best cover them over without dismantling everything & threading them through conduit.

Also as the boiler & water are next to each other could I just use one 10mm cable as opposed to two as I have done & bond both together as long as I keep the cable continuos.

Thank you

Brown minitrunking would probably be the easiest

Mini trunking sounds the best idea mate. Yes you can use one continuous 10mm, although I believe seperates are preferred.

Is it bare brickwork or rendered?

Hi

Thanks for the replies, it is bare brickwork so I am not sure about mini trunking, has any one used spiral wrap I wondered if that would do the job?

Haven't used the spiral stuff, think it may be a case of doing what you didn't want to do and put it in some black pvc conduit or galv.

Hi - Thanks for that, already done it, had to disconnect & run through 20mm black plastic conduit a bit fiddly would definately like to find something different for next time.

I am not familiar with the brown capping any idea where to get it & what it is actually called?

i dont know mate, ive seen it on the outside of buildings (shops ect) wherepeople can walk past, and it covers cables that are clipped to building. I think its there more to stop people pulling the cable off the wall (accidentally or not).
