A man of your experience should know better ?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.
Who thought that times would change heyTo 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.
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.
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 casesI 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.
Haha great ??Whipersnappers.

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