Comment to help the algorithm

Thanks 👍🏻

On a long run I like to add one now and then so looks right on a long run see what I should put and see how it looks end to end and add one so all looks good and maches from start to end.

Thanks 👍🏻

Cheers, I keep Vernier calipers in tool bag for measuring things like that, if I'm not sure.

Thanks Gaz & team 👌

I was always tort to space the cleats every 10 or 15 inches apart depending on how the cables are run horizontal every 10inc vertical every 15 inch Excellent video as always Gaz 👍

What are inches?

[@Dog-whisperer7494]

@@GSHElectrical that’s how I was tort . Ok 254mm and 383mm

Without any official measurements, I would clip every alternate brick horizontally and vertically, every 3 courses. I would imagine that is well within regs.

[@GSHElectrical]

Sounds like a good idea 👍🏻

[@stewartaird3242]

On horizontal I always do 450mm.

Even for more than 15 or less than/equal to 20mm?

I almost never use cable cleats, if a cable is on show. They look so ugly. I use Large Buckle Clips the same type as the DNO have been using for years

[@GSHElectrical]

We use cleats at college

[@ef7480]

Those buckle clips are uglier. On the other hand, the big black thick cable strewn across the wall is so handsome.

[@JohnDundee-el2ro]

Can you not get and use black washers a little smaller than the penny washer the steel penny washer looks bad and also use black coated anti rust screws for clipping surface cables however I am not a supporter of clipping cables surace round someone's house or wall I think they should be dug down no matter what then straight up into whatever you are using everytime it would be the sparks mate digging down the cable not the spark

Vernier caliper just left the chat....
