This month's Tel's Tip.

Ever been about to fit some pvc conduit and found you've not got your bending spring?????

Panic not.

Cuts 4 pieces of 10mm GN/Y singles to be long enough to go past where you want the bend. insert into tube , warm tube with hair dryer or friction, bend over knee or whatever method you prefer. remove bits of cable. Job done. ( this is for 20mm tube. work it out yourself for 25mm ).

Just to clarify @telectrix....you forgot ya bending spring but took a hairdryer?.....

Ps. Nice tip though it’s stuff like that that can only come from experience

I always carry a chef's butane torch for heatshrink. good for pvc tube as long as don't get too close.

not got 3 hands for light fixture? simple tip is use a cable tie to support the fitting while you connect up. depending on the space available the tie can be cut off or better , left there for future use, if the fitting ever needs to be dropped for painting ceiling.
