I've just finished 1st fix on a kitchen lighting rewire with a few socket removals and changes.
The property is modern so has dot and dab walls.
We've cut neat chases down where we need to and clipped the cables for the plasterer to fill in.
The couple have just had a kitchen guy in to quote for fitting and he said that all the cables MUST be in capping and if there not when they try to sell there house the mortgage surveyor will "fail the electrics" , it took me an hour to stop laughing, honestly where do these clowns get there info !!!

What you on about ? I said in a earlier post it wasn't seen as mechanical protection, after your post about needing it and a rcd, if cable was less than 50 mm

And if you look, I quoted the same reg number as you, trusting that you'd listed the correct one as I've got better things to do than go and get my book.

Ok will , that wasn't what u answered u just said none were required if in safe zone etc etc , not that it wasn't mechanical protection , we had already "worked" that one out
Pretty slow for a arms member you guys usually have it memorized back to front like the karran

 

[SLSpark]

Your input has been 0% helpfull will once again from arms member ,

Its not needed in a safe zone, neither is it classed as mechanical protection nor is it earthed.
you said you needed it along with a rcd if less than 50mm, I was clearly pointing out it wouldn't make any difference if you capped the cable or not.

Better than fishing

 

[Knobhead]

You don't need either if cable is rcd protected and in a safe zone 552.6.6

They're famous last words

We still don't know if this install is RCD protected do we??

dont you start stirring things up!:evil:

 

[Knobhead]

Would I?

 

[GLENNSPARK]

If clearance of 50mm from the surface cannot be achieved capping should be used along with being rcd protected

this is complete drivel....
capping is there to protect cables from the plasterers trowel......
IT IS NOT CONSIDERED MECHANICAL PROTECTION....end of...
