Regulation 522.8.5 stating that its requirements for the support of cables and conductors are also applicable to consumer unit meter tails.


So what types of clips are we to use, metal cleats?

Thoughts...

    It would seem that most people (including the DNOs and meter installers) don't bother.


    Please don't confuse this with 521.10.202.


    P-clips are good, but I also have some natty little devices which allow one to use a cable tie. Afraid I cannot remember where they came from, but it was an auto-electrical supplier.

    Please excuse the somewhat fuzzy photograph - it was taken in poor light with a telephone.
