Thanks.Capping
Either steel or plastic
Yes, but as you say, that often means channeling out a bit of the wall. An old home with soft brick, and marginal mortar, I'd rather not disturb the brickwork anymore than I have to. Plus, time is money. Right now, I have to channel and use steel conduit, because there's no other solution on the market. That capping would be a Godsend.Could you not put in steel conduit. It might mean channeling out a bit of the wall.
I suspect that's true, but I suspect also that I'd pay triple or quadruple to have a tin-knocker make some up when compared to buying something off-the-shelf. Plus, our code requires the steel protection to be at least 16 gauge (1.29mm) thick. That's pretty darned thick, but that's the rule I have to go by.I would of thought any sheet metal shop would be able to cut and bend it to shape for you if you cannot find it anywhere.
