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

never got the hang of that steel conduit stuff. put it on the bender. hit it with a sledgehammer to bend it... it squashed flat.

To be said in a broad Yorkshire accent: Eye when I where a lad, who'd of thought I'd be on ere talking about conduit drops in galvanised steel.

Who thought that times would change hey

Your a lot younger than I thought, steel conduit drops where all about rewiring, using fabric covered cable needed this facility as the cable insulation deteriorated.

I can only comment on that which I've encountered in domestic properties in NI and have very limited experience of this subject.

In my lifetime it was originally oval conduit and latterly round. These have all been one form of plastic or other.

You don’t tend to have steel conduit in domestic properties mate, oval pvc conduit or capping is more common, steel conduit is more commercial, industrial although I wudn be surprised if domestic rewires in 10 years time will have to be done in steel conduit with less money that is currently paid for a Rewire is disgraceful the lack of appreciation shown for sparks in most cases

The thread seems to be covering quite a range of situations, but I'd originally commented on posts that related to the slightly different practices employed in NI. Here capping is unheard of in domestic properies and PVC conduit is used anywhere that cables run in solid walls.

What? Capping unheard of? PVC conduit run “IN” solid walls not “ON” is that what you do in Ireland?

 

[Mike Johnson]

Yes do it the easiest way you can, nailing a PVC capping over a T&E and calling it protected is the way the industry goes now days, it took a lot of skill and dedication to put in a steel conduit, even if it was just a straight drop or rise out of the floor, but as with everything, time is the biggest factor now days, speaking of which it's time I went to bed, goodnight all.
