Concealing cables for TV

[Sureitsoff?]

I would be inclined to use two or even three of these instead with a double box top and bottom

Amazing you still have a DVD player?

Why wouldn't he?

How else can you watch DVDs?

UPDATE: went with these as the reviews suggest that it’s is very easy to feed in (up to 3 apparently…) HDMI cable into each Trunking. As you can see, I have fitted two for expansion purposes.

The contours in the image are deceptive. The easifill is beautifully smooth and level. Love that stuff.

Welcome your feedback. Thanks for your help.

Apart from HDMI and other Extra Low Voltage Cables, how do you propose to get 240 V AC power to the device concerned?
Unless the TV uses an IEC C7 (or even C5) power connector, you will not be able to get a BS 1363 plug ended cable through any small diameter duct.

He has fitted power outlets behind the proposed TV position.

Although he has fitted power sockets behind the TV position it wouldnt take long to cut the plug off, thread the cable and fit a new plug would it??

As said above, there is a double socket for the TV. This sits towards the top (and back) of where the TV will be. The ducting is purely for cables running between TV and any devices I have in the base unit E.g. HDMI cables

This may be so, but I did not note the mention of this on this thread.

True. However, is this in accord with regulations in the UK?
In Australia (strictly speaking) that would not be allowed.
The regulations here allow the temporary installation of any cable, in free space or in a duct, if the cable can be installed and removed without the use of any "tool" - and removing and installing a plug certainly requires the use of a tool.
If the use of a "tool" is required it is deemed to be "Permanent Wiring".

One may not even use clips "nailed" to any skirting board for the purpose of "tidying" any cables, since a "tool" would be required to remove them.
This has led to the production and use of "Adhesive Cable Clips", where the clip can be open and closed using ones fingers only.

Of course it is. It's a plug.

The plug is not a cable.

So - larger ducting would allow it.

Never assume those in charge know what they are doing.

No just pull the cable hard enough...

OK. The "Plug"is on the end of a "cable"

The plug is not a cable.

The "Plug" is at the end of a "cable".

Yes - definitely (BUT the OP does not seem to have the "depth" available in the wall chase concerned to allow such a larger "duct".)

Never assume those in charge know what they are doing.

Agreed

Do you really think that a site such as this is an appropriate place to introduce your particular political comments?
I had not noted you doing any comments such as this previously on this site and I do wonder why you chose to do so in this instance.
