Buried Electrical connections

[Alan Holmes]

Yes, the problem I had with your question is that I could not remember the size, but it is the correct size, as well as being twin and earth.

[Alan Holmes]

That is correct, lighting needs a smaller size cable than the ring mains, or electric cooker connections.

Didn't you know there are different sizes of cable for different purposes?

[Alan Holmes]

Thank you.

[Alan Holmes]

Just trying to follow your example!

I think you would find it rathe difficult to drive a nail through a metal conduit.

Then locte the studs and drill a hole through them!

Not quite sure of the deprication though, can't speak that sort of language!

[Alan Holmes]

In my day they were always soldered!

[John Rumm]

Metal conduit these days is rather thin and weedy - quite easy to pierce with a nail - especially when nicely supported in plaster. (in much the same way as it is easy to nail through a pipe). With the more commonly used plastic conduit, you probably would not even notice it was there.

Tricky thing to do once the wall is built.

Well if you ate your breakfast rather than spend all your time in here wittering then you too might have the strength to hammer a nail through conduit.

There is also the lazy agresssive approach
