Cable running in plaster.

I suppose that's another way of putting it.

It's far more dumb to think that the topic revolves around you, and that member reads every word of your long and tedious post before making their own succinct and perfectly valid contribution.

I didn’t think the topic revolved around me at all, just putting a plasterers perspective around a nonsensical myth; as for valid a contribution well, yes, it would have been if it had been correct.

YOU FIRST CLASS C O C K Richard C

Sorry about the dumbo bit oharaf.

FWIW, i used to work with a spark who HAS had plasterers slice his cable with the edge of their trowell.
I don't think it was a regualr occurrence, but it happened to him.

There no reg regards capping, but i think that there is guidance as to what is sufficient to give 'mechanical protection' and i think it is 3mm of mild steel or equivalent.

This means metal capping is not robust enough to be considered as mech. protection.

Also, there is an arguement to suggest that metal capping can give rise to a dangerous situation. If happy customer decides to put up a picture, bangs nail into wall with hammer, has no clue that hes just pierced the capping and gone into the line conductor. It possible, and has happened, that it could send the whole (or at least part) live

If Orahaf had taken the time to follow & read the thread properly, he would have been aware that the “dangling cables” comment was not meant to be taken seriously; I do have a fair bit of both domestic & commercial electrical installation experience. To poke 5 sets of rolling eyes at me is inflammatory in itself so you could say, he started it. I've already admitted that the “Dumbo” comment was uncalled for & I could have handled it much better but it was late!

If your intent is to rush to orahaf’s defence as a fellow spark then I’m sure that’s laudable but it’s equally clear orahaf, having called me cock, is quiet capable of speaking up for himself. I don’t see any point in going over the same old ground or getting into a slanging match with someone who’s not been involved & pops up out of nowhere a week after the thread has run its course; the thread is dead as far as I’m concerned.
