first fix

[new_spark]

Morning
Just got a 1st fix to do on an extension where the original outside wall is now going to be an internal wall, just wondering what your thoughts are on running my switch drops and rings on the wall, is damp from the brick likely to cause a problem? Plasterer has indicated that he will be fitting insulated boards, will this affect my installation method??

Cheers

stick them in 20mm conduit

good idea^^^. i assume you mean steel.

 

[new_spark]

Good idea!! Thanks. Steel??

Steel as in Galv, not black enamel, as opposed to PVC

its probably going to be insulated plasterboard stuck on to the brickwork with adhesive so conduit may stick out too much if thats the case
find out first

 

[amlu]

chase the wall for the conduits.

Plastic capping will be sufficent in my opinion. If your worried use metal capping instead

The insulation board being used will probably have at least 25mm of insulation so 20mm conduit will be fine, the plasterer will just cut it away to allow the boards to sit plumb
