Story short, I could really use 4 lengths / 12m of bog standard 20mm galv conduit c/w couplers for first thing on Tuesday, in York. And as it’s now Saturday and Monday is the bank holiday I’m short on options from wholesalers. Anybody in the area got any I can buy/scrounge/beer tokens?! Doesn’t even need to be new, just clean. I’m in York from Monday, which is also antisocial.

Screwfix sell galv conduit in 3m lengths, threaded at one end, plus couplers, are open bank holiday Monday, and you'd only have to visit maybe 3 stores in the York area to get enough for what you need. This all assumes you have the means to thread the other end!

Order before 6pm today and it will be delivered to the screwfix store you select tomorrow so no need to visit loads of stores

Surely most wholesalers are going to have 20mm galv conduit on the shelf?

As an aside, I'm wondering if it's supplied in 3m lengths in GB? Screwfix carry odd lengths, but OP also mentioned 4 lengths being 12m. Over here glav conduit comes in 3.75m lengths.

It depends which wholesaler you go to some have 3.75m lengths in stock and some have 3m lengths in stock and some have both in stock so it is a bit of a lottery
The likes of Screwfix and Toolstation only have 3m lengths

Maybe the suggestion of going to screwfix has put him into shock??

Hehe. It was actually a win for screwfix - 3m lengths of 25mm c/w coupler and threaded both ends, picked some up in Liverpool yesterday. And it's for non electrical use..... when in theatres you see huge big scenery drapes flying in and out, at the very bottom of them is a sewn pocket instead of a hem, into which goes a solid length of conduit or similar tube to keep it all taught and even. This is sort of similar use for a rock backdrop.

you mean..... it could have been anything? not just conduit?

would copper water pipe have worked? broom handles? or even fork handles???

Increasingly it is supplied in 3m lengths, my wholesaler made some.excuse about fitting in their vans easier when they changed from 3.75 to 3 a few years ago.

Not heavy enough, it needs to have a bit of weight to it to keep the bottom of the cloth straight(ish) And it needs to join together easily so you can get it out again take it apart.

Yes I know. But I was just trying to get round to the fork handles joke…
