Swa Banjo?

[Michael Bloomfield]

Hello everyone, having a debate with colleague, concerning SWA connected into metal CU. Can anyone advise the exact reason for the banjo, brass washer with cpc tag, is it compulsory rather than it just looks nice.
Any thoughts sound reasons would be nice also is it a requirement under the regs?

There was some really nice Pyro work on that job and the new EX rated emergency stop buttons were a fraction of the size of the original equipment ex emergency buttons. And I bet they last a fraction as long as well.

All the old gear had "Made In Great Britain" on it

I would imagine the old gear would be Ex d flameproof whereas most new stop buttons I see are Hybrid Ex de and plastic housings. They are not cheap for what they are.
