shimble Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 trying to work out what the rules are for running wiring behind plasterboard walls,if the original wall is insulated i presume any wiring should be exterior of the insulation ie plasterboard side, does this need to be in fixed conduit or how do i need to secure the wiring behind the plasterboard and the insulation. anyway if anyone has any ideas .......

legs_akimbo Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 If the plasterboard is the insulation backed type you should put all cables into wavin/conduit and fix to walls, you can then cut out a thin strip of the unsulation at the back of the plasterboard for the conduit to sit into. One tip is to paint the conduit then place the plasterboard temporarily into its intended position, the paint from the conduit will transfer onto the insulation showing precisely where you need to channel it before fixing proper.
