I'll bet it comes pre made! Very nice and made in a long length - someone's got stones OR lots of offcuts!
Respects anyways! Peace out!

I didnt mean to load so many pics i didnt think they were attaching but obviously were ooppss.! Not taking credit for them just spotted while at a leisure centre today. Very neat and good to see

...I bet he pulled the cables before he formed it...

 

[Dave the spark]

It's running left to right

 

[haptism]

I reckon he used the fill it with sand and twist it round approach on that, or a XLLLL former !

 

[LeeH]

I've got a bit of a dafty on just looking at that.

 

[HandySparks]

Looks neat but, given the saddle spacing on the straight run, shouldn't there be a saddle closer to the internal corners? I'd say they are a bit 'unsupported'.

@bigspark17 I deleted all the duplicated images for you.

Very nice, I would have drilled straight through, and used it to hang all my jackets up if it's a void.?

 

[Risteard]

Personally I wouldn't rate it as it breaks all the rules for number of bends without a drawing-in box etc. A conduit system must be rewireable and it is a breach of BS7671 to draw in cables until the conduit system has been completely erected.

 

[Risteard]

OK Have just noticed a couple of BESA boxes now that the pictures have been tidied up but most of what I said still stands. Four ninety degree bends between boxes?!?!?!

 

[Rocboni]

I think an exception has to be made here, a pull box would have been better at both sides instead of just one, however if there are not a lot of cables in it they would have been easily pulled in. You cannot deny that it hasn't been well executed.

Well sufficient drawing in boxes is a critical part of conduit installation so it has to be a demerit if the system does not comply with BS7671!

A box mid-way on the front of the pier,would have allowed ease of pulling,and additional support...but we're getting a bit picky...

Go and check out Aesop's fables,when the Gods were asked to make the perfect man,and note the moral

 

[Rocboni]

There is no where in bs7671 that states max 4 bends only in the OSG, it is up to the designer as to whether the cables can be drawn in without additional pull boxes and so as not to suffer damage, the installation above may only canitain a couple 2.5mm in that case it would be compliment as they could be pulled in easily, but if it contained 4 x 4mm it would be a different story and I agree they haven't installed sufficient pull boxes thus non complying.

A through box on each side of the bull nosed wall would have been better.

It's a bit of conduit, most people can't put a double set in a bit of tube.

Your not wrong.!

Do we actually know what cable is in there? It could be just one length of cat 5.
Its a neat job, whether or not it complies we cannot really comment on unless we know the full details.

I think that's pretty damn neat, good to see someone with obvious pride in their work.
