Do electrical cables need capping?

Do you have to use capping? | on ElectriciansForums

There are loads of reg concerning cable installation and the main one for cable in plaster would be section 522.5 concerning corrosive or polluting substances........................which is now irrelevant with modern plaster, so cable can be run without additional protection such as capping

As for the use of a trowel and damaging the cable, again you could refer to section 522.8 and other mechanical damage and 522.8.1 in particular, but again mention of capping sheathed cable in a wall is not mentioned, so again it really is your call if you think you want to cap it.

Personally I like to use oval tube to cover the cables, no more reason other, that was the way I was taught to do it, which is not a reg but a personal preference

You can find more information on our web, so please take a look.

Electricians - to cap, or not to cap?

Never needed to cap but was normally done as it&#;s an easy way of fixing and it provides some protection from the plasterer trowel so on a small fill job like that I wouldn&#;t bother.
