[QUOTE="Evans Electric, post: 467122, member: 1408"] A couple of posts have highlighted slight differences in the way we all carry out our work . Just wondering if there are that many around the country or by the firm you work for . 1) We covered using White twin/earth (LSF) darn sarf . In the Midlands the norm would be grey. Order white in specially. 2) A firm my mate worked for had a few of their own "Regs" You can't fit a pendant in a kitchen , must be a batten holder. A shower pull switch string "must be in reach of the shower user. " 3) Many firms I worked for ..when installing a TPN supply to a machine in conduit ...would always use 3 X Reds + a black . Sometimes the maintenance guys at a factory would throw a fit , they always used R/Y/Bu /Bk . But as contractors the firms would be caught out with drums of Yellow and Blue they couldn't use on a new school , multi storey car park etc . 4) Couple of firms I worked for insisted on using those tight little inspection elbows on their conduit , the ones you can't wire round , instead of pulling a bend or fitting an angle box.
