Managed to sneak into the training center today and filmed this short video of S plan wiring as promised.

Managed to sneak into the training center today and filmed this short video of S plan wiring as promised. Good use of trunking there. Apart from looking neat (and I could be wrong) but I thought if cable is within reach, it needs to be protected such as with trunking. Obviously flex to an accessory is different. |

I'm unsure of the electrical regs on this DD, however, the wires to pumps, cylinder stats, motorised valves etc' are always dangling down and unprotected by any trunking.
I guess it would make maintenance a lot more difficult on them if they all had to be trunked up.
There's a mains fuse box in there too which I could open up and have a look into, it's always interesting to see what it's like inside a mains fusebox?

Nonmetallic-sheathed cable shall be permitted to be unsupported where the cable: (1) Is fished between access points through concealed spaces in finished buildings or structures and supporting is impracticable. (2) Is not more than 1.4 m (4 1 ⁄2 ft) from the last point of cable support to the point of connection to a luminaire or other piece of electrical equipment and the cable and point of connection are within an accessible ceiling |

I'm not sure on regs too. But I understand it that permanent cabling like T&E for light and ring circuits, etc should be clipped/trunked. something like wires to motorised valve, pump, cyl stat isn't regarded as permanent wiring. Otherwise we would have to clip/trunk wiring to the tv and toaster.
But what do I know!

That's what I thought. Isn't the difference that t&e cable is one thing and flex (like to the MV etc) is something else? Maybe the flex is better protected ? Its also guaranteed to be clamped into the accessory (MV etc) whereas cable might not be clipped even though it should be so could be pulled out of say a juncgtion box? Just guessing. |

I’ve not seen the cables put in trunking on many installs.

If the flex is supported within the enclosed termination point there's a get out clause but if not the felx has to be secured with 12" of its termination point.
