    I've seen it from the East coast to the west coast and all the way up to Mphumalanga. I also believe it is not just Pinetown in Natal.

    I have stuck to what I learnt back then however as I got it straight from the manufacturer.

    I will contact my old boss when I get to PE on Wednesday and ask if he still has the e-mail sent by Aberdare.
    As I recall it took a while to get to the "right" person who was quite helpful at the end of the day.

    As soon as I have it I will post it.

    Running cabling without conduit in polystyrene insulation can cause the cable to weep a gooey residue. The plasticizer compounds added to the PVC sheath to give it more flexibility get leeched out when it contacts certain other plastics...another good reason to use conduit.

    Thanks Andy, glad for the extra motivation to use conduit. It makes life a lot easier down the line too.
