IDEAS
Used an old bucket of large 5" steel nails....
Bang nails in floor/ceiling joists lay cables on top, secured by the odd steel cable tie or recycle wire twisted around cable/nail...job done.
I have also been using black banding on exposed black beams in escape routes & inside plastic trunking.
Sprayed metal conduit saddles white/black for pvc conduit support.
Do we really need some bigwig seal of approval or shall we just get on and do it with some common sense and creativeness.
I do like some of the informative comments written previously and interested on how clips are tested but no more tick boxes on test/inspect sheets please...the more ticks you have the less is read.
To Strima & mattg..I agree, usual appalling lack of guidance/thought on some practical issues in regs...Part lifting flooring in a room? could we not use catenary/steel wire for support ?
1) Steel cable tie T/E cables together, some loose fixed position tie loops.
2) Steel wire threaded through loose loops
3) Pull the lot under floor
4) Nails in joist both ends, steel wire fixed both ends taking the strain, even if there was a slight drop if the ceiling failed cables would not be falling into necks of persons (unless very low ceiling or span too long)
