RE: Wiring Path using chimney



Yes, all my CAT5e runs go down my chimney's.

I was not sure of the legalities of this, both from planning permission and safety, no problem with each.

I was working on site at Huntingdon District Council for 3 months and got to know who to talk too and they were all very helpful.

NOTE....

All your cables will be plastered with soot! 'orible....

I had the chimney "cleaned" but it made little difference. I let the cables go downwards and clean them where they emerge and then fasten the ends up into the loft.

Another warning is the cables get very heavy! make sure they do not drag over bare bricks.


Oh, don't use the fire place for a fire :-))))))

Hi,


Fingers crossed we should have a house in a few months that will need total
re-wiring, so i am trying to plan ahead for the HA wiring side of things.

Has anyone used a chimney as a cable route before? If so how did you seal
the chimney from the elements?

Cheers, Des.
