Nonails vs PVC

[cymruspark]

So i'm installing some cables (for cooker, ring and fuse spur), i was going to just nail the capping but it's really hard to get any holes, as the wall seems to be coal dust and often flaky, breaky stone.

So i was wondering would it be okay to stick the cables using nonails or something similar to the walls and then nonails the capping onto the cables.

It's getting plastered afterwards so the adhesive wouldn't have to hold too much.


Also the reg about the cooker switch being directly avbove, is that you can't have on ceiling directly above or can't have perpendicular to the wall?

Come on fella think what damage the chemicals in the adhesive could cause to the insulation of your cable. There must be other methods of installing correctly surely you could use some conduit.

*Gritting teeth* Could you not screw and plug it or maybe even screw direct into it? *Gritting teeth*

`dont break my stone ..my flaky breaky stone`...

get some foam in it.....

Expandy foam is what I use to stick cables to bungaroosh walls down here in Brighton. It's a messy job but it gets it done. Just make sure you wear some disposable gloves.

I'm pretty sure the guideline about not having the cooker switch above the cooker is NOT referring to it being on the bl&&dy ceiling! Daz

 

[Guest111]

It refers to the switch not being on the wall directly behind the cooker,imagine trying to turn it off with a pan on fire!Why on earth would you want it on the ceiling,or are you thinking a pullswitch?

With the pullcord dangling over the burners!

... or can't have perpendicular to the wall?

What, hanging in space at some random distance from the wall?! :smilielol5:

It would be handy to hang the tea towels on
