Jamie Wilson Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I had an NSI inspection last year, where the inspector instructed us to remove staples that were used on an 8-core cable in to a timber surface.

Simlec Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I had an NSI inspection last year, where the inspector instructed us to remove staples that were used on an 8-core cable in to a timber surface. You should have checked what the manufacture of the cable and staple have to say first.

Rob Kirk Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) Reading the current regs I'm going to have to invest in a stapler, any ideas whats the best for alarm 6 and 8 core? Â Sorry to bump an old topic, used to work for a company that strictly forbid stapler use and in 10 years of the trade have never fired a staple would you believe! They look good for certain application of one or two cables side by side. Â Whats peoples opinions of glue guns? Is glue gun and caulking filler a common thing still in the industry? used to be the goto method of smart concealing up a corner to a pir or panic button. Or along a skirting so one cable just looks like another extension of the routing pattern of a skirting.

datadiffusion Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I would only use Rapid myself, although am currently utterly lost for a UK address to make a warranty claim - Rapid UK office was closed a few years ago, there is literally no UK address listed any more.  I also still use glue and caulk all the time to be honest on domestics etc... So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands  Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/31816-use-staples/page/9/#findComment-437109 Share on other sites More sharing options...
al-yeti Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 I had an NSI inspection last year, where the inspector instructed us to remove staples that were used on an 8-core cable in to a timber surface. Probably asked before but Nsi are saying it doesn't comply? And it's in there great book somewhere with an explanation?
