Can i run all these cables through a single hole in the wall? A sparky said i couldn't but seeing as it is all brand new double insulated cable i don't see the problem. My last house i rewired. All the different size cables were bundled together and the electrician still signed it off.
Excellent thanks, Sparky that told me that i couldn't also labelled up my fuse board wrong. So seems he is full of..... As i thought
bunching cables tightly together should be avoided , how many of each cable are we talking about ? what size hole and what depth ?
So as long as it pulled through without snagging? It's near central heating pipes with lagging on is that ok too?
Its all in a ceiling over a breeze block stud wall then through a cavity wall in to under stair cupboard. I will definitely look in to tubes now that you meantion it as the cable through the wall to the outside lights had been chewed by mice. Should i use a particular kind of tube?
Just take look at how all of the cables get into your consumer unit. The common way is for all of the cables to enter the consumer unit through a single hole in the back. Yes, all of them 2x ring final circuits 2x lighting circuits A 40A shower 32A cooker 16A immersion heater And probably more. Does anybody worry about that? No. So your problem isn't a problem. It's your electrician… Edit. If you had all of those running together over a long distance, on cable tray then maybe an allowance for bunching might be necessary.. but you'll be fine.
Ace thanks for your help its only 2x 6mm, 2x 2.5mm and a 1.5mm all for the new kitchen. Thanks for help gents
