Hello Everyone,

I have just finished installing a Texecom Veritas8C in my own home and I can't decide wether I have too much cable showing.

For example in one bedroom because of Coving, I have dropped the detector underneath and have two cables running out of the ceiling a good 2 inches against the coving and in the other bedroom have around an inch of cable showing above the detector.

What do you think? No biggy or a pain in the rear?

Thanks Alex

No Cable for me, and I am sure the others will agree.

Using a long thin drill bit drill slowly behind the coving and re-feed the cable down. Otherwise carefully chase out, fill with filler and paint.

If i did an install and i could see any cable i would not be a happy chapy.

Ok in a garage or in the loft space i would surface clip every 9" but never show any in the main part of the house.

I have spent hours with a coat hanger with a hook on the end in a hole in the wall trying to fish a cable just to get the job right.

Hmm tru enough, I've checked over the other ones and they are AOK, but the one in the coving certainly does need drilling through.

Same here.

Same here.

Agreed even no cable to door contacts.

WHile we are on this topic, anybody know a supplier of wire coat hangers, getting a bit low and the suspended ceiling wire is not quite the same and plastic coat hangers well just very un-engineer friendley.

I think we need to arrange a demonstration at the gates of the wire coat factory, to show our support.

Good point!!What a multi-purpose tool the wire coathanger is - it opens my trap door,decimates the monster that lurks around the U-bend and clogs the flushing water,opens car doors in the movies.......

it's brilliant for removing hair from the shower u-bend too.

nice

Asolutely useless for hanging a heavy coat on though.
