Wiring in conduits




My Sister in law and here husband live in a housing association flat. They have recently had the lighting re-wired by a contractor (paid for by the housing association) but rather than put the wiring into the walls as I expected they have simply run plastic conduit around the walls and ceiling and the wiring is in this.

Can this possibly meet building regulations
This is perfectly legal. As I understand it, such cabling must be in some way protected. This is either 'chased in' or 'trunked'. In this case it has been trunked, which probably saves the HA money and thus affords other tenants due repairs and alike in the financial year. 

Hope that helps, thanks, Jason.
could be that the nails used to anchor the ceiling product or the nails in the crossbeams are rusting. the humidity is causing the rust to leach into the ceiling product. since you say they are in a line, this makes sense.

the only thing you can do is to prime over them and repaint. *any examples are for illustrative purposes only.*  
  
smoke barriers are used to subdivide building spaces into smoke compartments.  they restrict the passage of smoke and therefore through-penetrations must be sealed with a material capable of restricting the transfer of smoke.  
  
smoke barrier walls in existing health care and ambulatory health care occupancies are required to have a ½-hour fire rating.  in new health care and ambulatory health care occupancies, smoke barrier walls are required to have a 1-hour fire rating.  when sealing penetrations in these walls, a material that is ul listed for the appropriate fire rating must be used.
* facilities are classified as “existing” if final plans for construction, additions, renovations, or changes in occupancy were approved by the local authority having jurisdiction before july 5, 2016.


where ductwork penetrates a smoke barrier wall, a smoke damper is not required to if the hvac system is fully ducted. air transfer openings (non-ducted) shall have a smoke damper installed.  
  
reference ls.02.01.30 ep19 just for everyone’s edification- this is [@anidutta](/u/anidutta)’s other post: 
 
we are thinking that the rain sensor was spliced into the common wire, which is why we were only seeing one wire. Solution

![image](https://q2a.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/prod/answer-four-long-current-carrying-wires-planeintersect-form-square-side-lengths-1.gif) the order of these attributes in your file is wrong. 
change it to this:

You are so kind to be this active due to the distress of a stranger. I'm touched by how much you care. I can also see why you are horrified!  
  
Maybe this woman is too far along with the prolapse, but I do know that there is something called a pessary that can generally be inserted to hold the organs in place. I'm surprised this wasn't done long ago for this woman. The nursing home maybe didn't have care of this woman until it was too late.   
  
You seem to be doing everything you can, and you're right in not wanting to get the nursing home in trouble since they aren't the problem. Contacting the urology department of your local hospital may yield some results. Perhaps there's a program for people who are in such dire situations. Please let us know what happens.   
Take care,  
Carol those cables will work but you don't really need them as you only have to get to where the speaker wire comes out of the wall. just cut a pair of rca cables in half. there will be a center wire that connects to the positive and the shield, that wraps around the insulated center wire, is the negative. 
the only potential problem is that you may not have enough power to drive the rears loud enough. If you install fiber optic link between to points, it can not be wiretapping without notice. But with satellite is giving some options for that. Maybe you should hide your data by encryption systems between two points.  

good luck!
