Hi all
I dropped in from the aviation boards cos I've got a query about re-wiring my kitchen.
My house is fairly old - built in 1870 and the kitchen walls seem to be entirely made from engineering bricks. I can chisel the rendering off to chase the wires into the walls but Its almost impossible to get through the brick without almost bringing the whole wall down.
So I was wondering is it legal for me to run the wires into patress boxes surface mounted onto the base of the wall units?
I've read the IEEE regs (how do you guys make head or tale of them?) and all I could find were limitations on the cable height from the floor and it must be intrinsically safe.
Thanks
