Does anyone know anywhere in the regulations that it states I have to use capping to protect cables when embedded in plaster as I am currently on a rewire, it says in on site guide that if there's no rcd protection it does require metal earthed capping
 
i use plastic oval tube. hate capping. either the nails won't go in or they fall out as soon as you let go.

Don't use the nails they are useless, get a small decent battery gun with a decent magnetic screw bit that holds the screws steady. Screw straight onto the capping and the screw will pierce through, straight into a raw plug. Careful not to screw through cables...

if i'm going to the trouble of drilling and plugging, then it's tube all the way. 1 hole per clip. and it's rewireable as well.
 
it should have been trashed ages ago.

your wish is my command.

this whole thread is just one jolly funny reminder why i use this site less and less.

good work fellow forum contributers on making yourselves look dumb ;-D
 
were you singled out in any way ?
no , so stop being so f****** uptight.
folk might think youre actually that ---- tank driver you proudly display.

Whoa! Calm down dear, no need for such a wobbly now is there?! I'll put those toys back in your pram now shall I?

I never said you singled me out, you just referred to contributing members of this thread being dumb, me being one of them. I wanted clarification on what I said that was so dumb, that's all?! Uptight? I don't really think so, just inquisitive as to why you would say such a thing.

One more thing, there's a line you simply don't cross. When you start making insinuations with words like '----' you're getting very close pal. Wind it in!
