Types of installation

[olsonn]

Does anybody out there recognise this type of installation. I have never come across anything like it before. I was doing some work on a flat yesterday that had a few problems. The incoming water pipe was not bonded and the earthing cable on the gas pipe was not attached. The installer had also obviously had some problems with cable lengths and had put the tails from the socket ring circuit on 2.5mm into a JB and had then taken a single 6mm cable into the CU. Has anybody else seen this method used before and does it meet the regs. I was going to replace this with 2 seperate 2.5mm tails

The cover was removed to try and get some idea as to what type of installation I was dealing with. With the cover on you couldnt made head or tail of it

You’re a brave man!

I know E54 slated it but I’ve seen worse. I’m one of those weird people that likes split concentric.

At least 1 of the earths in pic 1 on the right has been "trimmed" n all to get it into the earth block...

I've seen a lot worse too. That's the thing about using concentric cables, they need to be terminated in a decent manner, and very few these days, seem to be able too!! On the rare occasions we've had concentric cables run in on my projects, they have always been terminated with heatshrink purpose made trouser breakouts and sleeving. But i've seen some perfectly good amalgamated tape and heatshrink sleeve terminations....
