Use a thinner longe drill bit first then larger going from both sides if required.@anthonybragg This was my first thought tbh, but because I don't want to blow a brick out on the face of the house, I'm going to be drilling from outside inwards, and trying to get the correct angle so that I fall within the zone of the switch is going to be difficult.
It's what I'll probably have to do but I wondered if anyone had any tips or suggestions regarding the matter.
No need Thomas you seem to have all the answers you require, it's just a quirk of mine, nice to know the experience of people you are trying to help, if you wish to keep that private, then that's your prerogative, good luck@Pete999 that's cool man. I come here for help. If ya need more info then I'll happily pass it over. Cheers.
@ruston Thanks, I wasn't aware that it ran both sides of the wall. This is the stuff I'm learning on the job.
THANKS TO EVERYONE. I don't wanna miss anyone out. It's all been helpful as usual and helping me become better at this job. Only a few more years and I should be able to go solo! Cheers legends.
Why don't you join the trainee section of the forum?
I’ve also started looking at peoples profiles before answering. If they are not allowing me to see there profile I’m not responding also.No need Thomas you seem to have all the answers you require, it's just a quirk of mine, nice to know the experience of people you are trying to help, if you wish to keep that private, then that's your prerogative, good luck
Conduit doesn't, so your point is bizarre.If the conduit provides sufficient mechanical protection to protect the cable against penetration from screws or nails, it doesn’t need to be earthed.
Don’t know what kind of metal conduit you use?Conduit doesn't, so your point is bizarre.
Strange, because I've seen someone drill right through concealed steel conduit before and hit the singles contained within. I'm pretty sure Guidance Notes explicitly state that conduit wouldn't meet that requirement too and therefore needs to be earthed.Don’t know what kind of metal conduit you use?
The metal conduit I’ve used would.
