Flat twin cable outside

[Dylboy]

Hello

So I have been seeing a lot of flat twin cable uses lld outdoors. That can't be done as it can not be in the site of the sky and not rates for outdoor.

So how does one cover it ? Rewiring is often not plausible due to cost.

Secondly, if it is painted, is that then ok as the paint has UV properties etc ?

We have been lucky and can get trunking around or run Sprague to cover but sometimes not and to re do it is costly.

Wondering if anyone wiser has solutions ?

That is very intriguing and so happy to read that.

Back in my training days old Boss said unless specifically asked for they are not. abedere cables is what I use, I should have asked the supplier or asked for that document to confirm.

This will make life a lot easier.

Thank you for sharing and so thankful I asked.

Tried to see if Alvern cables had that data, could not see so I emailed them and lets see what they say. Abedere and Alvern are the two stocked at my local.
