In your country, do you use pipe to run wire through very much?

can you bend pipe?

 

[ferg]

We do things a little differently to you and use different materials but the short answer is yes.
Slightly longer answer is that we use very little conduit / pipe in domestic installations but it's very common in commercial and industrial sectors.

Joe it’s not that hard to bend pipe and I’ve install pipe from 1/2 inch to 3 inch galvanized conduit. You just need a bender and know the formulas. If you truly want to be an electrician you will have to learn to bend saddles, 90 degrees, 45 degrees and 30 degrees offsets. Practice makes perfect.

or tube.? ?

we tend to use trunking for the multiple cables, dropping down in conduit for each accessory. i understand that Americans tend to use multiple runs of conduit.

pipes for smoking , tubes for wiring

good hardwood pipes are for smoking. bent pipes are a wet-pants problem.

@telectrix If we are installing a parallel run of conduit like 3000 amps yes we run multiple conduits unless the customer wants tray cable
