CHASING IN CABLES

[CHESH999]

Hi guys,

I have several electric cables on the outside of the wall (in trunking) in my hallway which I want to chase in. Just wondering whether I should use a plastic or galvanised steel cover? also can I put more than one cable in whichever cover I use?

Thanks

You can use either or none at all.

What is important is that the cables MUST run in safe zones

I'll bet you will not be able to comply. Better to re-route the cables in floor or ceiling voids.
