Running Wire Between Carpet and Padding How to proceed:
- If you must run wire under carpet, always run it between carpet and padding to create a double cushion to protect the wire. Never staple or tape the wire as traffic could create damage to the wire jacket resulting in a short.
- Insert the rolled-up end of the Under Carpet Fish Tape (UCT) between carpet and padding from the destination place of the wire; when reaching the other side, strip the end of the wire and attach it to the rolled end of the UCT. Roll back the UCT in its case as it brings the wire to you. (The rounded end of the UCT is for running over waffle type padding.)
Note: Do not staple or tape the wire; avoid traffic areas. Always review and follow applicable codes and regulations.
