SWA instead of meter tails

[sajjad]

Hi Gents,
Hope everyone doing good at this hard time,i need your opinion guys
I am installing new CU and Client ask me to install it somewhere roughly 6 meters away from meter box.
i have decided run SWA as i can not use 3m meter tails in this case but my questions are;
1.Can i run SWA through cavity ?
2.What size SWA can i use 16mm or 25mm?
any suggestion what brand and size isolator switch i can use(please send me link)

thank you guys in advance.
Saj

Check the search on here, Im sure there are threads on this, but I can't fully remember the outcome.
I think it's frowned upon.

if there's no other option, in cavity may be acceptable as long as the cable is protected from damage---- no sharp bends or chafing on rough masonry.

you could always core drill an 1 1/4 hole and put in a piece of waste pipe
