I want to run some outside lights in placky conduit. I've got a shed load of 1mm 3 core from an old job I want to use up. I plan to strip the sheath back to "singles" and sleeve either end with blue and/or earth sleeving and use a bit of insulation tape to hold it in place. Right, suck on your teeth all you want as it may not be to your taste; is there a reg that this doesn't comply with?
Wouldn't 1mm 3-core already be brown/blue/green-yellow? (Since 1972 as it goes, so it would be cable from a very old job. Were you working school holidays, Col? )
I don't think there's anything in the regs that says you can't put t/e into conduit. (I've done it enough times!)
It's not that mate, I don't think I can shove in the cable with a the sheeth on it. Two maybe, but three I don't reckon would work.
I thought you said that originally but the replies confused me, aren't you supposed to run singles in conduit?
Conductor should be sleeved at terminations and "preferably along its length". Preferably. I wouldn't cack it up with tape though, just sleeve. You know it's coming.....for the price of a couple rolls of cable
I did think about running the cpc bare and it seems do-able but could have problems with r1+r2 testing as the cpc may touch inside the conduit. I couldn't find any confirmation but I believe technically it should be doable and comply with the Holy Bible.
