Mechanical Protection
Posted: Thu May 06, 2021 7:14 am
HI guys,
doing a bathroom renovation and owner/builder wants to put a light switch on a load bearing wall where the timber supports are. Idea is to notch out a chase in the timber for the cables. This will mean that the cable will be directly beneath the plaster board. What mechanical protection do people recommend? Sheet metal a couple mm thick fixed over the chase? Other option was to come down inside the cavity slider. I've never put a light switch on a cavity slider before, just wondering what others think for this ideal?
