Jackie Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 I want to bury a 20mm ICTA grey gaine in the concrete surface being applied to an internal wall. Is this allowed as it will be just below the surface and my concern would be that some poor soul might drill through it at some time in the future? Mind you that could apply just about anywhere in the house. As an alternative I could put on the concrete and then place the wiring on top in a white rectangular surface mounted conduit. This would be less pleasing to the eye but if needs must.........John Jackie's other half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Posted November 28, 2004 Author Share Posted November 28, 2004 Well thanks to Dave and BAF as from that file it looks as if the answer to my question is "Yes it is allowed" as the gaine shown is just below the surface of the plaster and no sign of a protective metal cover. Thanks again and this is what I will do..........another problem solved by the good folk on Living France.................John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
