water and electric sharing floor joist notches ?
Just thought I'd check-
there are existing notches in my floor joists with water waste pipes going through, there's no reason not to put electric cables along the same route is there? But ethernet cables would have to be about 6 inches away wouldnt they? I dont want to cut any unnecessary holes in the joists George |

Can't see any problem with a plastic waste pipe... But ethernet cables would have to be about 6 inches away wouldnt they? 2" is adequate (and in reality ethernet would not care even if they were wound round them, although if using them for analogue voice the separation becomes more important) -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |

My infamous building inspector wanted 50mm between all pipes and cables. The pipe material was irrelevant in his requirement. Not to say he was right of course.

Only that a copper hot water pipe if *in contact* with a PVC insulated cable could heat it to a significant proportion of its maximum permitted sustained conductor temperature. A plastic waste water pipe is less likely to do that. My infamous building inspector wanted 50mm between all pipes and cables. The pipe material was irrelevant in his requirement. Not to say he was right of course. -- Cheers, John. /================================================== ===============\ | Internode Ltd - http://www.internode.co.uk | |-----------------------------------------------------------------| | John Rumm - john(at)internode(dot)co(dot)uk | \================================================= ================/ |
