I’ve been asked to add a couple of extra points to the single ring main in a flat. Building fabric is concrete, all of the electrical installation is steel conduit buried in the concrete.
I opened the consumer unit and could only see one CPC for a radial socket, as well as the main Earth. No...
Hi this is my first post here.
I’m a newly qualified spark mainly working in domestic houses, I got a job coming up where I’m planning to install pvc conduit for some sockets in garage attached to a house.

Evening, is there a place to get good quality 20mm round plastic conduit lids?
I’ve installed a load this weekend from Screwfix and they don’t seal correctly as the plastic is too thin.
I’ve ended up using two lids on each box!
Thanks.

I do very little steel conduit work and can't justify buying a full bender set up.
My dad has a hand held plumbers pipe bender.Would I be able to fit a 20mm former and guide to it to use for bends and sets etc.
Had a tricky job this afternoon. 5 metre run of 20mm flexible conduit running through stud wall then 90' bend. Really struggled getting any of my mighty rods through (splintered 2 of them)

We had some LED battens from our old workshop and we've hung them in...

I am running some flexible conduit within a 5mm steel box profile dwarf wall to feed socket outlets In a small conservatory. One of the sections is 2 box sections bolted together. The flexible conduit will run through this but I'm not happy with the conduit just pushed through. I was thinking of...
Wondered if anyone can advise here please by any chance.
When making a running coupler where one end of your steel conduit has a bend, so turning it to make a fixing would be impossible, it seems apparent that how ever way you do it you will be left with some thread left over on the steel...
Just wondering if anyone makes a red brick colour conduit?
I want the cable/system to be as discreet as possible as it has to go around the side of the house.
I have some 20mm black pvc conduit fitted outside for data cables. Should the inspection covers on the inspection bends and elbows be on top or underneath to be waterproof?
Iv used this bender for allot of 20mm galv jobs and its worked fine. Im currently doing a job that involves 25mm galv conduit so iv changed the former and steppes up the roller and arm into the appropriate holes. Every bend i do the conduit keeps showing small wrinkles at the start of the bend...
