Buzz-light-bulb

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

That should be big enough ?
As and when we need to substantially widen the chase , we use a Hilti grinder with an extract head on it .

Was just guessing maybe bit narrower, won't take standard capping I know that. I was getting a load of slightly narrower capping for a while which was perfect but can't get no more. smallest stuff 16mm? no use.

As good as you would expect it to be , being Hilti !
Keep meaning to buy another grinder , as they sent two extract heads out with the grinder when we brought a hover and grinder combo kit .
Tried to give the spare head back , but the rep would have none of it !?

Ive just ordered a new makita grinder but Im thinking I should get the hilti. Could you maybe point me in the direction of the extractor unit ? I see a few on the site but not sure which Id need ?
 
I have been on their site , but can not tell which one it is at the moment .
I know it is on one of their 5" grinders , but as I tend not to get on the tools nowadays , and especially not for chasseing work , I am not quite sure which one it is !?
I do know from when I was more hands on , it was the daddy ! Especially when it came to cutting a perfect box hole .
I am going down to work early this week so should be back on Wednesday night this week , I will have a look for it at the yard and if I remember when I get back home post the model number up for you .
