What's MICC?


Mineral Insulated Copper Covered. Commonly known as Pyro. Often covered in
orange PVC - although this isn't needed for every use. In its bare copper
form it's ideal for surface runs across old wood beams etc as it quickly
blends in. The sort you'd use for a light is only about 5mm in diameter so
much neater than conduit doing the same job. Most commonly seen in old
pubs.


Thanks.
