Chasing out

[PeterPan27]

Just i simple question peeps.

When chasing out a wall to fit 1.5 twin and earth how far do you have to chase? 50/65mm? Also you cant just plaster over the cable cause thermal insulation.. whats the plastic cover called? which you place over the cable then to plaster/fill over?? and is this tacked into place with small nails?

Sorry if its a stupid question. so far all my work has been done on metre square boards lol

Be a big coffee then?

No the coffee table is just there to protect the twist and taped joint. you know, in case the dog starts sniffing around or the 3 year old mistakes the connector block for lego. It's called providing a barrier DPG, jeez, don't you know anything.

Ah, you never said table though Daz

 

[wade88]

.... you are correct..... i was testing your intuitive nature. Obviously a coffee would not be adequate, you need at the bare minimum a fish bowl to cover up such things.

Only just noticed this bit...

Plastering in directly is one of the best ways of installing cable to dissipate heat!
