I was wondering if any of you have any experience burying galvanised steel conduit?
My current plan is to make up the conduit, T-Wash it and give it a couple of coats of primer and hammerite before I sink it in the ground but I'm wondering if it will be enough? My Father has suggested covering...
From time to time, I have a need to put a fairly gentle bend into 25mm PVC conduit. Past attempts to do this using nothing but a bending spring (originally bought for 22mm copper pipe) were not successful. I found that I could do the job if I warmed up the conduit with a heat gun, but have never...
Bit of a debate today, advice please as regs book not possible to get in my hands until tomorrow. New job, apartments, in the kitchen there are 2 x 25mm conduits from an external wall to an island within the kitchen that is free standing, to be able to get the hob supply across and lighting with...
I have some 20mm conduit going to the lights in my garage. I've wired them up using 1.5mm T&E in the conduit rather than conduit cable.
I'm looking at routing my garage door opener cable in the same conduit, however from what I understand you cant mix low voltage cables with mains. As the...
Is there any reason why I couldn't install heavy gauge black malleable pipe to bs1387 instead of generic electric conduit to BS4568 where greater impact resistance is required?
Assuming of course the pipe was identified as such.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to find out the CSA and resistance of 20 & 25mm steel conduit?
It's for part of my 2396 project where I'm using the conduit as CPC, I'm happy enough with the calculations I just need some numbers to work with.
I've tried various manufacturers websites...

hi there, first post on here.
I've got a shed in my garden which I connected to one of the feeds to a wall socket in the house.
I hooked it up in June and it worked fine until about a week ago. The power went off in the house. I turned it back on again. About a week after that it went...
I'm using some conduit on a job and I feel like I'm going round in circles. when deciding what size conduit is required I can't find anything in the byb, just things similar to the link below. and am I right in thinking this is purely a guide as to what can be pulled in easily? the only other...
I've got 3 roof fans to be wired from 3 spurs fitted on the inside concrete ceiling. They shall be controlled from 3 ground level fan controllers. Supply to the 3 controllers is via 3 conduit drops off the trunking.
My question is, can I run all 3 phases in the one conduit to the spurs (4...
Bending Springs for plastic conduit someone once said to me that you should tie on end loop and bring through spring it stops it deforming when pulled out.
Good evening all,
My first posting on this site.
Some advice on the following would be greatly appreciated.
Am I right in thinking that the best way of connecting rigid conduit to flexible conduit is by screwing the gland on the flexible conduit into a female adapter?
Or is it acceptable to...
Hi, I am laying a patio and have a 38mm corrugated conduit going across the ground ready to be covered in scalpings, it's 7-8m long but it doesn't have a pull cord though so I was wondering what's the best way to get cable through it. The cable will only power a small foundation pump. Thanks
We have recently had some electrical work done in our house and the electrician simply clipped the cables to the wall which was later plastered. When I have done similar wiring myself (before the current regulations - I do have a degree in Electrical Engineering) I have always used oval PVC...
Random Friday night question (tin hat on)... you can do this, right (gland SWA directly into a BESA box)? Splice to singles in the box using Wagos or similar. In terms of mechanical integrity and electrical continuity of the cpc, no different to using couplers etc... (although, different...
