Has anybody else had any problems installing PVC oval tube or capping?
I did a small kitchen rewire a while ago and used PVC oval tubing, the problem I had was basically the 2.5mm would not fit through it, it just kept getting stuck and I was using the correct size!
Then this week I'm doing a small shop so I decided to use PVC capping, it worked fine on the cable drops as I used a wall chaser to about 28mm then the capping pushes in nice and tight
The problem came when I needed to cap the cables running around the safe zone where ceiling meets the wall, the building is lime mortar and I couldn't get the capping nails to hold anywhere, I even struggled to fix the cables as I had to result to the large headed galv clout nails either side, nightmare.
Unfortunatly I just had to leave them exposed, they are at 20mm deep I'm just praying the plasterers go easy today.
I would of prefered to run everything in the ceiling but it's an old lathe plaster ceiling, very unstable and the client wanted minimum damage to it
