is acceptable to use the existing steel tails when fitting a new cu? (provided all of the test reults are ok)

^^ consult your schemes technical line?
As if they'll give a correct answer!
would they be the old style tails they used to use with what looked like a woven sheath on the outside, still come across them today, has he come back with answer yet or picture ?
they are red and black and the consensus seems to be tinned copper, so I am inclined to agree and will check when I next see them. thanks for your commentsI doubt they would be that old as surely if that were the case there would be no question about re using them ? I think they'll be the tinned copper type with both the inner insulation and sheath in red and black pvc rather than red/black or brown/blue with grey outer sheath. I prefer these older tails actually as they're almost always easier to dress and terminate neatly, a bit more flexible than the new stuff.
