Dusty Posted April 15 Posted April 15 Hi all I have an old cottage and have removed a false plaster board ceiling to the hallway exposing the original beams which I would like to keep . Unfortunately, when the house was modernised much of the cabling was hidden behind the false ceiling and are now exposed. I want to re route the cables and box in along the top of one of the walls. Do the Twin & Earth cables need to be fully separated with clips to ensure they don't overheat or can they be grouped together at all please? Cables to run: 1 x 6mm T&E (cooker) 2 x 2.5mm T&E 3 x 4mm T&E 2 x 6mm single core cables Many thanks
Gone West Posted April 15 Posted April 15 This is some info on grouping cables and other related stuff that might be of use. https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Book/4.3.5.htm
ProDave Posted April 15 Posted April 15 And bear in mind the fire implications, cables should be supported with metal clips so in the event of a fire they don't hang down endangering fire fighters.
