I couldn't stand listening to any more either. He should stick to showing videos of his work, they were more interesting.Only watched a few minutes, is Nagy really that desperate with his pricing and time to make such an argument over not/ using oval conduit or capping.

I like to use screws if I'm fitting capping, sometimes with a bit of all round band bridging it. I find it easier and more reliable than nails, which can be a bit hit and miss on some walls. Probably just me being ham fisted.Always used clout nails over the edge of capping, as opposed nailing through the sides.
Can't see any legitimate reason to fit capping other than it looks more professional. I take the original point of protection from plasters trowel, but the same can be said of other trades in ceiling voids etc, damaging cables.
I haven't seen many dot & dab installs using capping/etc, same danger from trowel?
@Pretty Mouth what conduit's do you use in such installs?
Unless you use metal capping it's a waste of time with plastic ,seen far too many plasterers slice the plastic stuff\Always used clout nails over the edge of capping, as opposed nailing through the sides.

Sorry think I aimed my conduit question at the wrong person, someone from NI?I like to use screws if I'm fitting capping, sometimes with a bit of all round band bridging it.

If I'm plastering the chases myself, I don't usually use any protection. If someone else is plastering, then I'll fit steel capping where I think necessary/is expected, unless the plasterer says he doesn't want it. I sometimes fit oval conduit to switch drops only, I can see a case for additions to these points, but not so much to anywhere else.
Well made point this. All that ungrounded metal does, nt sit right. Would it not make more sense to insist capping be plastic onlyMore likely to be a problem as a result of fitting capping IMO. Easy to nail the cable at the same time as the capping if you're not careful (particularly when dealing with several cables in a drop), and such a fault livens up the capping too, if metal
I haven't seen much of the flush metal capping as we don't use it, I thought there was a tag that connected to the CPC at the box ?Well made point this. All that ungrounded metal does, nt sit right. Would it not make more sense to insist capping be plastic only
Apparently not. Metal capping appears to be an anomaly.I haven't seen much of the flush metal capping as we don't use it, I thought there was a tag that connected to the CPC at the box ?
