Was there ever a definitive answer to this?

 

[Risteard]

given that a nail gun can apparently shoot nails through steel conduit, and the fact that most (if not all) standard steel conduit has a wall thickness less than this oft-quoted 3mm figure, do you feel that steel conduit does not afford enough protection to satisfy BS7671?

Only if you are to completely ignore the fact that steel conduit IS NOT DESIGNED to prevent penetration. It is an exposed conductive part which MUST BE EARTHED.

As such, earthed metallic conduit is safe (and still isn't designed - nor has it ever been designed - to prevent penetration).

As a matter of interest, why have you suddenly come up with these comments about something I wrote over 3 years ago?!

Kind Regards, John

Apologies John, I didn't realise that this thread was so old.

Someone posted a reply just before me so it was listed in the current topics!

Again, my apologies.
