That figures, doesn't it?No he was a professional plumber.
I'm not sure, but all the wiring on the, rather large, site was installed to a similar standard. Thank goodness the place is now permanently closed and I believe the buyer of the site intends to knock most of the buildings down.Somewhat inventive to say the least, DIY job was it?
If you must......Please please please can we see a pic of that...
Hope you allowed a degree or two for gravity flow...If you must......

Yes, I just left the ends open. Bad of me.
Built it up with the cable inside already, and it’s glued. The bends have a corner inside them, rather than a sweeping smooth run.
Only for ELV and cctv signal.
use string and a henry. suck from the place you want it to come out, with any othe outlets plugged or taped over,.Solid bends and elbows have always been about a tee seems odd but have just seem them online. How would you wire a tee and guarantee it went the correct way.
Just a tip , when you get your spring attach a bit of singles looped quite long on the end, so when you have made a set you can pull the spring out.Never used a bending spring. I will order one and do all my straight cuts and see if I have any scrap left to practice with.
and a bit of fairy liquid on the spring.Just a tip , when you get your spring attach a bit of singles looped quite long on the end, so when you have made a set you can pull the spring out.
Can you make it flash?Cheap LED sticky tape stuck to the underside of my pipe from #54.... bathe the front of the house in blue for Thursdays clapping for nhs

It’s 3 colour, RBG.... can fade or jump between the colours, or change in time to music.... but the mic and controller are inside. I’d need a speaker inside and out to get the effectCan you make it flash?
can it make the tea though?It’s 3 colour, RBG.... can fade or jump between the colours, or change in time to music.... but the mic and controller are inside. I’d need a speaker inside and out to get the effect
I’ve got a wife for that, telcan it make the tea though?
Thank God I am not your neighbour you realise you are devaluing their properties
No trampoline or hot tub. My back garden is on a slope, so water would spill out, or the kids would bounce out onto the main road.Trampolines, hot tubs and accent lighting is a sure way to devalue the neighbourhood.
Down south, we use olive oil...and a bit of fairy liquid on the spring.
You should see it at Christmas !!Thank God I am not your neighbour you realise you are devaluing their properties
What siz conduit have you bought?
I would be using 25mm for 10.0 T&E.
Could run into difficulties trying to run 10mm2 through 20mm conduit20mm White PVC conduit.
You will find it nigh impossible to pull a 10.0 T&E through that.
Will it be a straight conduit run? how long is the run? sorry my bad you have already said. Still think you may have problems, getting the cable down that conduit.As I say it’s hard to take it back given the circumstances. My uncle did say 20mm would be fine when I asked him.
Single core cables may be your answer, not T&E.
Any answer for post #78?
Ah right, so there is no requirement for armoured cable now then. Fair enough.
32A MCB with 1.5mm cable - they were optimistic with that eh.
RDB will probably get away with 25mm conduit, but forget the 25mm inspection bend 10mm2 will never fit, a solid bend maybe, but not an inspection elbow, the cable is just far too big and far too rigid in manufacture.The T&E is already in, just needs the conduit. So I will order some 25mm conduit and inspection bends. As I am not experienced enough to try a bending spring. It’s going behind a gate anyway so your never going to see it from the front of the house.

Originally when we moved in was a 32amp MCB feeding some 1.5mm SWA to the garage. At the time it had one double socket and a 8ft florescent tube. The garage is now a room with some led spots gw10 I believe and 4 double sockets currently with a TV, Virgin Media Box and a Electric Heater, and Wine Fridge.
So my uncle deemed the 1.5mm SWA to be no good for what was now in the garage. So as he had some 10mm T&E on his van we fitted that as he said it is more than enough and easier to fit than SWA which would mean making a right mess of the newly decorated utility room.
They were yes.

On a separate note would you use a through box or a Wiska Box to house some flex and choc block. As the two wiska boxes that are currently up, ones black and the other is grey and two different brands.
Would the conduit fit inside the wiska box?
WHAT SORT OF ANGLE ARE YOU CONTEMPLATING USING?Would you recommend a bending spring Pete or another method?

WHAT SORT OF ANGLE ARE YOU CONTEMPLATING USING?
Remember you are using a fairly hefty cable, so getting it around a bend will be difficult whatever method yo use, could you not run it in the conduit down the wall and take it into whatever without ciconduit, after all 10mm2 has its own mechanical protection.
Davesparks suggestion is best try and build the system around the cable.
Better Odd than a badly installed cable. prone to heat damage due to the badly designed install method tight bends and tight enclosures are not a good idea,I understand what your saying. Only other method I was thinking would be Trunking but I would look odd.

Question, is there actually a need for conduit in this situation, many people just bury the cable as is as long asit's protected by a RCD.
Buried or surface?It's coming down the external brick wall Pete.
I would avoid manufactured bends and elbows they look terrible in any instance. Get a bending spring and use sets wherever possible and use BESA boxes as opposed to the fittings you suggest.
