Passing electric cables through walls?

[lilimop]

Hey!

I've got one room in the house with a wall socket. I'll be installing a new wall socket on the other side of that wall, passing an electrical cable from one socket to the other for wiring it up. I'm pretty sure the wall has some kind of insulation, should I be adding a tube or cable sleeve of some sort to isolate the electrical cable from debris or any thing inside the wall?

Thanks!

That depends a lot on what type if cable you are going to be installing?

I'll be using one of these:

2.5mm2

It may not be strictly necessary but a bit of 20 or 25mm plastic conduit (pipe) will make life easier in most situations and is a better engineered job in my opinion.

That seems an unusual choice. Why?

I'd be using T&E. Bear in mind that flex may need ferrules.

What would be a good choice?

Twin and earth would be conventional for fixed wiring.

IF the boxes are opposite each other, and connected by a properly fixed conduit, then I would use singles (6491X)
