[trev]

I was also taught to always glue em

Think it all depends on the application... in the roof space of a restuarent where i wired as i went i didn't bother but i will glue say on areas that are likely to pull apart easily. we have all glued tube only to have some bugger change his mind on what he wants and where and ending up cutting it about!

If the conduit is between to items screwed to wall, e.g. a backbox and a T , i dont glue them but if it is a run where they can be pulled apart at the joints, i.e. 90 degree bends, then i glue them

you could pull them apart with the glue on or not.. but we seem to have todo it.
