Guest Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Under raised floors, yes. Above ceilings. I wouldn't like to rest a pair of sidecutters on some ceiling tiles, let alone send a car bouncing on and off tiles after being launched off every T bar on the way across. Much better idea is one of these (if you happen to be loaded)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PJF Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Woh. Imagine the fun I could have with one of them Cracking bit of kit. Top tip: if you ever catch fire, try to avoid seeing yourself in the mirror, because i bet thats what REALLY throws you into a panic and dont forget the one thing you cant recycle is wasted time.

ian.cant Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I use drainrods, bend the first one and tape an empty pop bottle on the end, using the bend and the bottle it goes over/under/around most obsticles. Theyre also excellent for cabling in basket or tray or purlins and funnily enough, ducts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norman Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Although it's a while since I installed, I am guilty of 'hanging cables above ceiling's, where on I mean tie wrapped 'quite' regularly usually from the ceiling eye-hooks. Not ideal I know but what do you chaps do instead? Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not ideal I know but what do you chaps do instead?Believe this or not what you do complies with wiring regs. Installers who lay cables across ceilings are not installing they are "throwing it in" to coin a phrase. Our standard method in the absence of cable support systems is to remove every other tile around the perimeter and support the cable from the fabric of the building, i personally have often cable clipped cables to the ceiling shadow batten.Jef.
