    Chasing in and trunking?

    I've been on a few jobs where a previous installer has chased in some 25mm trunking instead of the 25mm oval conduit that I would normally use. I don't like capping as it's a bugger to send new cables through. Just wanted peoples opinion of best practice when it comes to mechanical protection...

    Phases in dado trunking.

    Hi all and thanks in advance for any replies. I was wondering if whether when having more than one phase inside a dado trunking are you required to mark up the trunking with a 400v marker/label like you would at a multi gang light switch?? Cheers

    Trunking

    Hi Just looking for some advice. I've had a new supply and meter fitted on the outside of a building. The supply is for a new consumer on the first floor. The meter tails for this have been run down the outer wall. What trunking would you use to protect these? Many thanks

    Meter Tails

    Hi. I've recently moved into new house. The meter box and consumer unit are installed in cupboard underneath the stairs, however they are approx. 1.5m apart and the tails are surface mounted. Should they be encased in trunking so as to protect them from damage. Thanks
