Default Minimum separation between pipe and cable

I need to run some CH pipe close to an SWA cable (perpendicular to, not
parallel) OSG says cable should not be in contact or alongside. It won't
be in contact, but there will be no more than a centimetre gap at best.
That feels more than enough gap, given I can fit some of this stuff
round the pipe

That's really not very far, can you hack about the surrounding material to
get a bigger gap. Also, standard foam pipe lagging or quality foam based
insulation would do a better job, shiny bubble wrap really doesn't cut it.


The shiny bubble wrap reckons it's equivalent to 33mm of foam...

I reckon I can fit a full crossover in there, so that'll improve things
a fair bit.
