Discuss grommets and earth Sleeving are so over rated in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

I remember back in the 80’s, on a 1st fix we ran out of grommets, completing the 2nd fix the client noticed there were no grommets in the boxes .
They-refused to pay & I had to sit in a Court room with a judge,my gaffer & client & explain why I left out some of the grommeats out.
The final words were they detrimental to the install.
Send me to prison Now

You went to court rather than pick a box of grommets up???
 
It always amazes me how local practices vary. If you go to any electrical wholesaler in SA and ask for grommets or earth sleeve I guarantee they won't have either. We always use compression glands for all cable entries (stuffing glands) and we never use earth sleeving in our CU's or accessories.
