5.4.2 Laying the guide pipes Lead a guide pipe (with feed-in cord/wire) into and away from each flush-mounting installation box and/ or to each installation point. The plan sets out the sequence in which the individual flush-mounting instal- lation boxes and/or installation points should be connected with guide pipes. The guide pipe running away from the last installation box and/or installation point for each spray circuit leads either back to the central unit (internal spray circuit drainage) or the drain module (external spray circuit drainage).
