[QUOTE="DaveS79, post: 489638, member: 28820"] In all honesty Doc. The fact I'm posting this question means I'm doing my upmost to comply with regs and so leave a safe install. If there is nothing you ever queried or sort clarity around fair play to you. But I would rather leave an installation knowing I left it safe rather than be embarrassed to look like a doughnut at times. Truth is I don't always find regs a very easy read...although I have referred to them in regards to fire/smoke sealing and from what I can see I do not need to be concerned in this scenario. I can only learn through my opportunities for experience and how I have witnessed other people's installs and this has confused me as at times have seen cables completely foam sealed entering DB from the behind plasterboard and I have also not seen it. Hence why I asked for clarification as I could not see any mention of similar situation in regs ie 422.4, 422.5 and 527 which deals with sealing cables within containment it is in to the same fire rating as any room/building structure that it passes through. Thanks if anything you prodded me to atleast re double check regs [/QUOTE]
