    Earthed metal conduit for anything other than horizontal and vertical

    Are you talking about chasing solid walls/brick/block or plasterboard?

    Afaik you cannot chase as far horizontally in this scenario as you risk compromising the integrity of too many bricks and thus the wall itself.

    Vertically its fine as its a tiny section of wall, but horizontally you are cutting out a full strip across each block/brick...
