In the middle of a large panel upgrade from Galaxy 500 to PX 500, noticed on the spec today a small note saying to connect existing foil in a certain area.

The foil is on wired glass and its just one strip to point to point with no JB, i will get some info on this tomorrow but in the meantime anyone have any thoughts.

Yup.

It isn't grade three.

In the old language, you'd have called it single pole, and the cable would have just bee tacked round the window, picking up the foil running across it.

The best you're going to do with that is make sure it's converted to EOL, and trouble monitored too, as per one run of cable - not sure even that would allow complinace with grade 3.

Grading doesnt come into it. Yu cant grade it as there is no en for foil.

As long as it complies with 4737 its fine.

Just remember to note it as such on the spec.

Botty covering is essential

yes but your pd6662 in the title would do that.

Only making sure the OP is aware, some fail to see this and leave bottoms open to abuse.

I would of thought a Grade 3 system can only have Grade 3 equipment! So the system is now Grade 3 with old/other bits :whistle: sounds a bit rough imo.
