20 & 25mm threaders

[TJLinks]

Has anyone got a spare set of 20mm & 25mm stocks and dies for sale?

Still say it and always will, Conlok is ****e! Can't stand the stuff!

Welcome to the forum ...

Here's your chance then to defend the product.

I have viewed your promotion vid on line and have a few points I want answering.

-The normal threaded method of joining conduit give a very good IP seal to dust and water, noting the way you product uses a grub screw to push the conduit against the back wall of the box, what IP rating does it achieve on it joints?

-Metal conduit is often used as the safety earthing system of a circuit, A - does your systems still fully meet all the earthing needs an equivalent threaded version does? B - In an environment prone to vibration what measures have you taken in design to ensure the grubscrew doesn't work loose and putting the safety of uses at risk?

-In your video - where the hell did you find that guy threading the conduit?, his methods were poor, slow and I'd have sacked him if he didn't book his ideas up on my job!

-Like any manufacturer, the idea to make a profit, exactly what difference if any in cost is your product against the standard threaded versions.

-If you make a 1m squared of threaded 20mm conduit it will be a solid square and very hard to deform by hand, how would your system hold to the same challenge.. I cannot see it been as solid regardless if it meets certain British Standards... I would expect it would pivot on the grub screws a bit making it a substantially less rigid set-up... or are you relying on the saddles etc to avoid this issue? (Not every job can be saddled as you would want)

....Yep.that's all well and good,but you fail to list any benefits....

....Like,one system requiring a level of training and engineering acumen,while the other can be tackled by a medium level meerkat...:conehead:

There aren’t any.

That’s an advantage?




Any vibration and it will become loose rendering the continuity of the containment ineffective. It would be interesting to see the results of a continuity comparison test after one year in service.

The video mentioned H&S, no mention of the protruding grub screws being a snagging hazard.

It’s no match for threaded conduit regarding its IP rating.

Aesthetically it is unsightly due the grub screws.



Finally regarding post #25 it comes across to me as thinly veiled

the chap threading the conduit by the 'traditional' method in the video, must be quite wealthy.

Not using use any tallow or lubricant when threading the conduit will result in the conduit spinning in the vice, he will then tighten it further, damaging the conduit, a replacement length will then be needed.

tallow??? once did some major conduit work in a hospital. used lard from the hospital kitchen for all threading. also used as a lube for pulling cables in.
