I've an otherwise small and simple job to do later, out of hours, fit an outdoor IP FSU for a small AC unit fed from an outdoor socket on an RFC, all external wall. However, because it's at an animal hospital and located where dogs get exercised I'm taking a cautious approach and doing it in...
I don't think I have worked with 32mm conduit before. Always 25mm and 20mm.
I want to contain 2 x 25mm tails and 1 x 16mm earth in some 32mm (rigid) plastic conduit. Where it comes out of the wall I would usually use a round conduit box. I cant find 32mm (plastic) round conduit boxes so I shall...
I’ve ordered some 25mm Adaptaflex but I’m struggling to find which connections I would need to go into 308/607 Wiska Boxes.

Tried pulling some 2.5mm T&E through 10m of 20mm flexi conduit the other day with a draw tape, although I did succeed it was a bit of a wrestle.

Thanks in advance.
I need to run electrical conduit through an existing foundation. here is the catch. The exterior of the foundation is clad in fieldstone and has a bluestone cap. Cutting into the stone or notching the cap is not an option (Wife!!!!). The simplest solution would be to drill the slab in front...
I’ve just done an EICR on an old 2 bed flat that is wired in all metal conduit wired in singles however there are no CPC’s. The conduits are all bushed into the old rewireable board and back boxes/conduit boxes for lights and I’m getting good Zs readings at all outlets through the sockets/lights...

Hi!
I’d like to install a pedestal-mounted (230 V, 30 A max - programmable) EV charger close to my driveway, which ends about 12 feet away from the house, on the other side of a landscaped rock wall of sorts. While I am at it, I would like to oversize the circuit to allow a second EV charger to...
Running some cables and fitting some back boxes to save some money in preparation for an electrician to do a 1st fix. Just wondering if there is a simple table available to show what size cable(s) will fit into oval conduit?
Specifically 2 x 6mm2 T+E cables (induction hob and oven) and 2 x 4mm2...
Hello I have an existing run of rigid metal conduit outside of my house that feeds several outdoor receptacles. There is no separate ground wire inside the rigid metal conduit. Is there a way that I can use liquid tight to run to a new extension receptacle? What I am particularly concerned about...
Hello
I am adding a couple of sockets to an old industrial installation. I am replacing the existing sockets and adding two more into the ring. The installation is earthed through the metal conduit and an RCB has been retrofitted to the circuit after the old style fuse board. Is it...
Hi. Is there some kind of cable protector that I can pop on the end of length of 20mm conduit to stop the cable chaffing? Just running cable into vertical drops in a garage.

I am intending to mount two led downlights on pillars/brick walls either side of the garage door opening. I will drill through the cavity to feed the cable through. There will be a PIR sensor mounted in the middle above the garage door.
Internally i wanted to put the...

Need to run conduit on a wall with break out points for wall mounted down lighters along the way. But struggling to find downlighters that mount on conduit junction boxes or support conduit ingress / egress points. Most downlighters seem to cater for rear cable entry only. After some...
