Wall Mounted Electric Fires look really great in the showrooms until you get them home mount them on the wall then realise you have an ugly power cable on show.

My plan was to convert the single socket nearby to a fused connection unit and drill a hole in the wall were the electrical flex comes out of fire and take it behind behind the plasterboard (dry lined wall) in some oval conduit down to the fcu.

Is this acceptable?

I'd hate to think I'd have to resort to surface mounted trunking.

Wasn't sure what you meant by safe zones at first but found a useful post here on the forum which explained it all.

Original plan would have been to run the flex diagnonally down from fire to FCU in oval conduit but as that is not allowed the alternative plan is to add an FCU down below the electric fire and to take that back to the single socket thus having the fcu as a spur.

Can I assume that as the fire came connected with that flex then there is no need to worry about its suitability for connection to the fcu?
