[QUOTE="kme, post: 81373, member: 113"] Good practice - says me. If the socket is removed for testing or replacement, and the circuit is energised, there is no cpc to the stell backbox. All you`d need is a missing grommet, or loose wire to the socket, which moved as you removed the socket........... live backbox anyone? I still do this - its been considered good practice for years. Why wouldn`t you put a strapper there? the only reason I can think of is laziness:( (no offence intended to those who don`t. As stated, 7671 doen`t call for it.....) KME [/QUOTE]
