coving (Read 3999 times)

starflip GDPR opt-out	coving Aug 18^th, 2009, 6:56pm With wiring zones letting you put cables 150mm into corners that are rcd protected of course. If the tidiest way to get a new cooker circuit to the kitchen is in behind the coving does it need to be armour or split or will twin and earth be acceptable ??

It is not the best practice, but I see it is acceptable.
