Elec. Regs. query
I'm wiring up my conservatory. Obviously I'm going to employ a qualified
electrician to make it live. My question is regards to conduit (white, plastic). Can I run it horizontally and comply with the regs? Thank you. Mark |

If it's concealed in the fabric - if you can get it more than 2ins (50mm) deeper than the surface - run it anywhere you like. Otherwise... horizontal runs should be confined to within 6 inches of the ceiling/wall junction (yeah right, in a conservatory! ;-) or horizontally from visible accessories (sockets, switches, and the like). Bear in mind that the widely-available 20mm-diam round conduit is scarcely man enough to take two 2.5mmsq T&Es - singles is what's normally used within conduit... HTH, Stefek |

My question is regards to conduit (white, plastic). Can I run it
horizontally and comply with the regs? You could run it diagonally or in circles and it would still comply with the regs. Christian. |

You could run it diagonally or in circles and it would still comply with
the regs. I should mention that this is assuming the wiring is surface mounted on the conservatory. Christian. |
