Cable Behind Skirting Boards?

[neil_ev]

Hi all,

just wandering what the view is on running a 2.5mm radial circuit behind a skirting board when it's fully protected by a new 17th ed. RCD protected CU.

thanks in advance

Agree ^^^^

Don't forget you create a safe zone by where you place the accessory, so as long as the cables run to the accessory in the safe zones created its OK.

Hope that makes sense!

If its within 150mm from the floor, then its classed as a safe zone so cables can be run there.

Are you absolutely SURE about that ??!!!! :uhoh2: :nono:

it's not a safe zone. 150mm below ceiling is a safe zone. maybe that's where the confusion arises. just look in the regs. there's a pretty diagram, which was also put on a thread a day or so ago.

I recently did a re wire for my brother and found this lurking behind the floorboads, A bit further down It had been missed by a nail by just a few mm
