I've been on a few jobs where a previous installer has chased in some 25mm trunking instead of the 25mm oval conduit that I would normally use. I don't like capping as it's a bugger to send new cables through.
Just wanted peoples opinion of best practice when it comes to mechanical protection below 50mm in wall chases. I may be looking in the wrong place but I can't see any guidance on this other than cables less 50mm deep require either RCD protection or metal capping. I'm guessing the plastic capping and conduit is something we do as best practice to protect the naked cable from slap dash plasters?
Cheers in advance for your words of wisdom.
