Had niceic guy out today and has advised that behind kitchen units i dont need to fit fire rated clips in trunking. I was under the impression that they were to be fitted in all trunking? Any thoughts?
My question is if the cable (in red) as shown in the picture below from DB-LL to ATS (1 x 4 core x 50mm) is needed to Fire rated or it can be a normal SWA cable?
