Hi all
I'm about to wire my garage (as part of some notifiable work which will be inspected by building control), so it's all being done properly.
I realise that the correct way to wire the garage is with conduit and 6491x wires, so that the cable is protected (ie not using surface mounted T+E that would not be acceptable) but I'm having problems confirming that plastic (round) conduit would be acceptable protection. Having gone through this forum, and the TLC tech section, I can see the derating I have to apply if I put many circuits in a conduit, and the size of conduit I require, and the 45% max loading, but nowhere can I find details of acceptable conduit construction. Is BS6099 part 2.2 the one?
If I wanted to run a larger conduit along the top of the walls, and drop a 20mm plastic down to each socket outlet (so I can fit the light cables and ring main in the same conduit) do I just use a large (eg 50*50mm) clip-on-lid trunking?
Thanks very much
Tony
