I always thought you had to keep the zone to the depth / width of the fitting: [URL="https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=A9MliSeQYxsC&pg=PA196&lpg=PA196&dq=width+of+cable+safe+zones&source=bl&ots=eOKOFXYaRy&sig=nT1vWNwtWjyc003hbQzGdP65YT4&hl=en&sa=X&ei=NdGKVZ-XI6zW7Aaf45DIAg&ved=0CGAQ6AEwDA#v=onepage&q=width%20of%20cable%20safe%20zones&f=false"]https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=A9MliSeQYxsC&pg=PA196&lpg=PA196&dq=width+of+cable+safe+zones&source=bl&ots=eOKOFXYaRy&sig=nT1vWNwtWjyc003hbQzGdP65YT4&hl=en&sa=X&ei=NdGKVZ-XI6zW7Aaf45DIAg&ved=0CGAQ6AEwDA#v=onepage&q=width%20of%20cable%20safe%20zones&f=false[/URL] [/QUOTE]
