    Switched Lives in Heating Control Wiring - sleeve or not? -

    Hi, Quick question and hopefully not too silly. In the wiring for a heating system, is the convention to use Brown sleeve at on all cables that are either Live or Switched Live, where the insulation itself is not brown? Or only those where the existing colour might be misleading, like a Blue...

    Rather than pull a new line from the panel by busting through walls, I am tapping an existing line in our bedroom to add an outlet and switched light in the neighboring enclosed mechanical room.
