wall chasing Regulations

[Chrishands]

Hello.

where can I find info in acceptable wall chasing. In other words, what can be done in terms of depth and length in a brick wall without causing structural damage. Im looking in OSG by beam holes and notches but can't seem to find what info im after.
THANKS

There's a similar book called "Electricians Guide to the Building Regulations". I think its in there.

Is it not in the OSG too ? I'm sure I have seen it in there before. Or maybe I'm thinking of a part of the building regs ?
From memory it's 1/3 depth of wall vertical and 1/5 horizontal..... but please check that !

i would recommend it, ive only used it once. during my am2, very easy to find what you need and much quicker than the onsite guide
