Well I have heard it all now, I think the trainee section should snap this fella up sharpish not!!
 
whats wrong with putting a bit of conduit in so you can actually get the wires pulled in/out without bashing the house into submission?
just a thought.
 
We always install capping when we wire in singles however.

Omg fellas. Really? Sometimes it is too easy on here.

Bad move. Two options here, either you are making a genuine statement and are clueless about installation techniques or you're making false statements which means you're trolling. Either way you're on thin ice so don't do it again.

Please be warned!!

Threads and posts get indexed by search engines and misleading statements like this end up carrying weight in Google search results because they supposedly come from professional electricians. If you want to start some banter keep it in the Chit Chat forum where it belongs not in the Electrical forums. Also if there's threads closed and posts deleted and your trolling is the cause of it then you'll be shown the door.

And how exactly do you propose to hide a bloody great lump of metal conduit?
Obviously plastic oval conduit is a different thing entirely but you're still cutting a chase.

Well thats the beauty of the oval tube.
i find capping easier to fix however, and keeps cables neat and tidy and secure.

Please accept my apology. I did not think of it that way. TBH I really thought it was an obvious joke and thought it would be taken as such.

I have edited my post and made it clear why.

let me be clear. This is absolutely not acceptable practice and should never be followed.
