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...

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?

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...
