pipe touching 1.0 cable

[woko27]

Hi, I'm a little concerned about a wire to a switch in a pipe box. The cable is 1.0 and is touching the radiator pipe. Should it be moved? is there something I can put between the pipe and cable?

TIA

you could fit some PVC trunking to the cable.

This will save you having to unwire it too

You could also usefully fit some pipe insulation using the long foam sleeves. Don't use expanded polystyrene as it attacks PVC cable.
