[QUOTE="PC Electrics, post: 259616, member: 650"] Always on flex, eg wiring central heating or immersions or plug tops Use them on singles if they are being terminated with solid (eg 2.5 solid with 2.5 single) Use them on 7 strand cable if the terminal is much bigger than the cable (eg using a 25A rotary isolator and fitting 4mm armoured) or 6mm t&e into a shower In relation to smart meters, there was a study carried out by the ESC which showed that 7 strand tails will loosen with time in a standard main switch due to the strands seperating under the pressure. Using ferrules would prevent this so I can see the logic. [/QUOTE]
