We mixed steel galv with steel copex, to make dopes or tight spots easierIt looks like they have the choice of metal conduit if they want to be sure, or t+e with a continuous pest control program.
As a test...take a piece of micc you have been learning to pot lately, and try gently nibbling away with a pair of cutters...then tell us what you think..
Never seen pvc conduit with signs of chewing, would be a cheaper option.It looks like they have the choice of metal conduit if they want to be sure, or t+e with a continuous pest control program.

Well with all respect...we are trying to show you individual experiences, we have all come across over many years, It may help you one dayGlad you enjoyed that.
you live and learn.
I better start a new thread.....Micc is not always suitable.....lol
micc is only a few thou of copper......a 15mm copper pipe is a total solid copper....as i suggest, try gently with a pair of cutters, on a piece of micc, and you will see how thin it really is.....try on a copper pipe, i dont think you will get the same result...
you sure? barely touch the conductors before they would probably die as the sheathing is earthed through the pot and to the gland through the olive
Can't in all honesty believe a rodent would bite through MICC, unless it was some sort of mutant thing that found it's way over from Chernobyl, as for conduit especially kopex, can't see that as an option either. Best way would be get rid of the pesky critters altogether oh and those electronic thingies are a waste of space, my Mrs got some we still get spiders mice and all sorts.
