Default Cable Route to Boiler

Hi all

Don't have OSG to hand, but ISTR that cables could be buried within a 6"
vertical strip in the corner of a room?

So, if my boiler side case is within 6" of a corner, can I bury the feed to
it and run across that 6" strip without breaking any rules?
From the corner of the room, the cable will pass through a wall to be boxed
in with pipes in the corner of the dining room.

TIA

Phil

You could. You would presumably be terminating the cable at a visible
FCU anyway though, so you would also be covered by the allowable
horizontal and vertical routes that intersect on the FCU.

Thanks John

No the idea was to have the power supply in the airing cupboard alongside
all the ch controls and just run the switched boiler feed from there to the
boiler
