What's the problem with plastic capping ?
Personally I'd use oval conduit in chases as they only have to be half as wide then
anyway, where the capping can be seen, there is just about 1mm for a skim with finish. so ner, ner.i'm moving on in disgust...........
;-)
I use a metabo chasing machine that cuts a chase 25mm wide and 25 mm deep , then remove the middle with a chisel in the multi drill , then install cables in 20mm round conduit with conduit just into the 20mm holes in metal boxes , plaster with one coat plaster and reskim and smooth of with trowel and water spray , , this leaves the conduit 5mm below surface , when I'm finished its ready for decoration ...
I find that anything less than 5mm may cause the plaster to crack if too thin in the future..
ideal method when you can do it. not recommended for a lived in house though. enough dust to fill a skip.
i do mine about 30mm wide. thats a little bigger than my cold chisel lol.i dont understand why we need to cut chases out deep enough to bury conduit for a house rewire ?
seems like alot of unnecessary work and mess when you can just chop back plaster and clip direct.

the main reason i use tube or capping is to facilitate rewiring of a drop if some muppet drills or nails it.
my stepdad is an engineer but a thick one.and how many times in say , the last 5 years , have you been called back to a domestic job you've rewired where a cable that is within the permitted zones , has been drilled through ?
im gonna guess its not often enough to justify automatically installing conduit on every job you do.........
I thought you were meant to fill the knock out boxes half full of plaster as well?
