[QUOTE="laserdavy, post: 20665, member: 1501"] So far as I am aware - yes you can, obviously it will not be RCD protected so you either have to do all that 522.6.6 says or bury it more than 50mm. If you dont wnat to dig out 2" of wall then you can do what sec iv of that reg says and [I]'ensure it is mechanically protected against damage sufficient to prevent penetration of the cable by nails, screws and the like' [/I] If I put them in the wall I tend to cover them in some metal plating anyway, the thought of anyone going through the tails does not enthrall me so I like to err well on the side of caution.
