A customer in a commercial space may want to install a coffee station. You need to have waste, water and vent piping in order to install a coffee station. The easiest way to install a plumbing wall is to find one that already has all of the above in place.
Safety measures for the wall chaser
Operators should be aware of the manufacturer's instructions and safety measures before firing up the wall chaser, it is a powerful tool that can cause serious injury. Eye and hand protection should be worn. It is important to use a suitable scanner to check for other piping and wiring in the wall before chasing.
Cutting a chase
Most electricians own a chasing tool and cutting a chase is a simple job. The chasing tool is a grinder with two parallel blades. The depth of the blades can be set, and a hose can be plugged into the end. The time they save is worth the cleaning up afterwards.
Plumbing chases
Plumbing applications use a chase since piping needs to go all the way in the home. In homes where electrical wiring can be snaked through spaces, pipes need their own passageway or chase to accommodate them. A chase will often go through a wall and have an access panel to get to the pipes.
Electrical chase in a building
A systematic electrical plan is necessary for a building construction. An electrical plan must be designed to make sure that all the outlets, lighting systems, and power needs are working efficiently. The electrical chase is a technique used to cut channels.
Chasing is a recess in the floor, ceiling and walls for pipe work. The electrical conduit and other services of the house are hidden in the walls by carving the channels of 50 to 100mm width and 50 to 75mm depth in the masonry or concrete elements. Simple chasing tools are required for cutting the electrical chase.
An angle grinder with two parallel cutting blades is used. The depth gauge simply sets the grinder up, down or across the wall and makes two parallel cuts. The waste between the cuts is knocked out with a cold chisel.
If half brick thick walls are used as load bearing wall, chases should not be allowed. Load bearing walls should have a thickness of half-brick only and not include concealed pipes or conduits. If the wall is to be tied, there is no need to give it a fancy finish.
Cuts and cuts to accommodate services
A chase is a channel cut into an existing layer to accommodate services. Chasing is done in a solid wall or solid floor construction. The chase is usually not wide than 100mm, but it depends on the number of services and the type of chase.
It is not normal to cut chases for large services. Chases can be cut into walls. If there is no provision for pipes or cables at the design stage, they can be cut into the concrete floor.
