Re: Burying cables in wall - protection against nails etc.

I like the false-wall idea, but if pipes are included don't forget to
space them as far away from the cables as possible if they are hot, or
else you're going to have to do some derating calculations on the
cables, and possibly even uprate the type of cable if the pipes are
hotter than the 70-odd degrees PVC can withstand.

A false wall might take a picture-nail without affecting the wires, but
anything more substantial is going to be a problem even then.

Hwyl!
