Suff In Gland Colour

[davegreen]

Do you have to use red glands in u-boxes? Or can you use white? Fire install obviously.

Even if your cable is white?

[Guest Thunderfingers]

It looks better to use the same colour but aside from that use pink if you want to.

Why would you want to use white glands??

[Chorlton]

my guess because he's using white fp200.

makes sense to ask IMO but because the mcp will be red i'd use red personally.

If he's using white cable I'd assume this is an addition to an old install as BS recommends the same colour cabling throughout and preferably red.

I thought white was for emergency lights and 240v supplies and red for fire. So people would know what it was for.

No, agree does not have to be but....why make things difficult by using white when you can use red??

Absolutely, this tends to be the norm within the industry at present, can't see any reason for not doing it this way to avoid confusion.
