Wall Cavity Wiring.

Zoomup
Good morning on this bright and sunny start,


                          Q. Which regulation(s) specifically prohibit(s) the installation of cables in brick and block cavity walls within the cavity?


in a, Older premises?


    b, Newer premises?


If regulations exist, what reasons are provided for the prohibition? Or are we just concerned about chemical damage of cable insulation if the cables are in contact with some types thermal insulation?

    LOL.


    When I was in the Venture Scouts in the 1970s calcium carbide could be ordered and collected from Boots the chemists to use in acetylene lamps when we went caving and if you ran out of water you could always wee in your lamps tank.
