Spilt con should be treated the same as t&e regardless of whether its in the regs or not.It does not have any form of mechanical protection like SWA does.

whilst SWA may stop you putting a spade through it in the garden, it has no mechanical protection to a nail/drill, just like pyro/flexishield/split con. but the idea being that anything penetrating has to touch something at or close to earth voltage before the live.

the main reason split con is now considered as T&E is because of the insulated neutrals which partly cover the live

Customer is going to love this.

Meter cabinet backs onto living room just where tv will be sited. Nice adaptable box installed here. Then we have another adaptable box in the lovely new kitchen adjacent to cu.

Incidently the new house next door has no switch fuse, tails up the cavity, through ceiling void, down behind plasterboard (1 inch) and into cu.

I assume that the tales were installed at build time so they could be pinned to the internal wall to stop the passage of moisture and that they are not putting insulation in the cavity.

Galv tube up from meter cupboard to joist space. Can use split con then and terminate straight into CU. No adaptable boxes.
