I've got battery powered smoke alarms fitted throughout the house.
During a project I've got the ability to run a cable to where one of them is - but once I finish the project I won't be able to get back behind it again - it's on top of a door frame.
I thought the best thing to do would be to put it in a choc block (without stripping the wires) with a label on it so it's clear for the future what it is, if anyone ever takes it off to put a new one on.
The current smoke alarm has no space inside to park the wires, and I don't really want to leave a big hole in the plasterboard (not that you'll see it as it's behind the smoke alarm) to be able to pull the choc block through.
I thought about one of those round plasterboard back boxes but that seems a bit OTT.
Any ideas?
EDIT - The forum has broken the link... if you search "APPLEBY CIRCULAR DRY LINER BOX 35MM" you'll see what I mean.
