Metal Cable Ties

Stuart Urban over 5 years ago

I have been told that "BS 7671 States that the use of metal cable ties is required for cables of certain gauges". Is there anything somewhere like this in the regs?

I was recently working on a massive office refub and the alarm company were using all plastic zip ties on tray for their red fp cables.

They got pulled up in it so every few metres wrapped a bit of silver banding round the cables on the tray.

Looks blooming awful considering most of the stuff is on show and its a new fit out...

Are metal ties really that expensive...?
