[QUOTE="sparkyork, post: 23566, member: 1555"] why cap up on new builds tho seriously, your not getting any protection out of it, soon as you nail of drill its straight through it. you got 30ma rcd anyway (most situations) so again total protection, rather than some nice white floppy crap that makes the cables look nice!! clearly if asked then yes fit it but why waste your time if not requested. unless protecction from plaster its self. ive seen plenty of damaged cables behind capping to appreciate its useless ness. oval or round conduit howvere is useful tho. when on a big job in lincoln we used chasing machine and installed 25mm oval conduit took a while to do the 1st fix's but seemed more worth while. sept when the floors and ceiling were concrete and they decided there was gonna be no access to ceiling void it all seems a bit pointless [/QUOTE]
