Thanks there’s no issue because they’re uninsulated Staples then?, it won’t fail an EICR test then?10mm cable? arrow T25 gun will do it.
Why not just use normal round clips ?
I just think bare staples would look a bit bodgey. Rush rush,crash bang wallop.

Lets put it in galv conduit, got to be fireproof...
Some people do that with twin and earth....Just put a clout nail straight through the cable and into the wall, that will stop it dropping when the skirting board turns to ash
Ah but it could trip them up.It's only 2 inch from the floor!

Yet they can't even sleeve an earth or use a mft. Weird and wonderful peopleYou may say this in jest
But in America and canada ALL soft skin cable like twin n earth or flex HAS to be in metal conduit if it is surface mounted. It can not just be clipped on a wall. It has to be METAL , you can't use plastic for surface containment
