bear with me im a carpenter, so im only vaguely aware of electrics
is it correct that in steel stud walls that that grommets are needed. is this to protect the insulation of the cables and to stop the studs becoming live? Is either or both correct?
how should cables be fixed in either timber or steel stud walls if at all?. do they need to be clipped to the nearest stud or does the need for cable runs to run vertically mean they have to dangle loose in the void with no clipping at all?
as more and more stud walls have to be sound insulated it means that i see cables are pushed against the back of the plasterboard. im again vaguely aware that cables in brick walls need to be in conduit if they are less than 50mm deep.
however ive not seen conduit in stud walls, is there a reason?
