PVC Conduit Question

[RDB85]

I’m looking to buy some PVC Conduit for some security lights rather than clip the cable. We don’t use it in work. But I know I need 20mm conduit but would I be okay using 20mm inspection elbows? I assume they just fit inside?

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.

and a bit of fairy liquid on the spring.

Can you make it flash?

Or switch it to red and get the wife earning some extra money

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

BS
If anything, I’m increasing their values...
You should see it at xmas time...

Now try telling my kids they MUST draw a rainbow for the windows.... not a chance.

Trampolines, hot tubs and accent lighting is a sure way to devalue the neighbourhood.

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.

yes. I wasn’t keen on running those lights out.... but it’s for the kids.
They won’t last long... not entirely IP rated for a start.

Thanks I’ve ordered some 20mm conduit. It’s to run some 10mm twin and earth from the CCU to the garage CCU as the guy who converted the garage into a room just left the old 1.5mm SWA cable in. But my uncle who is a spark of 50 years said that’s no good. So the SWA is coming out and the T&E going in it’s place. We’ve done the cable calcs so 10mm is fine. The reason we couldn’t fit SWA is the room where the CCU is has been fully refurbished and decorated. We managed to fit the T&E before the was put in.

Now would I need to buy some draw tape or is there another method for the bends? As the T&E goes down the conduit fine as it’s less than a metre between the house and garage.

Thanks

What siz conduit have you bought?

 

[Mike Johnson]

Stick your vacuum cleaner on the end and blow/suck a draw string through, and use that to pull the T&E or use the SWA to pull a string through when you take it out.

I would be using 25mm for 10.0 T&E.

 

[DPG]

I might have missed this, but presumably there was a reason why SWA was originally going to be used? Is the route definitely suitable for T&E?

 

[RDB85]

What siz conduit have you bought?

20mm White PVC conduit.

I’ve bought the bits now. It’s just the bends that are a bit tricky. But I think that goes for anything other than singles and CAT5E. Plus it’s little hard to take them back given the current situation.

 

[westward10]

You will find it nigh on impossible to pull a 10.0 T&E through that.
