Minimum Bend Radius 16mm T&E

[Amy_B]

Hi All,
What is the minimum bend radius for 16mm T&E?
How do you ensure it is not exceeded when coming through a wall and then down to the CU for example?

If this involves chiseling away the lip of the hole the cable appears through what methods can I use to fill the big gap left without compromising the exterior of the cable?
ie Can I use regular filler or cement, silicon based frame sealer, expanding foam etc?

thanks,
Amy

Silicone works well.
