20mm PVC conduit crossover / hopover?

[overskilled]

Don't do much conduit work...finishing my garage wire up and socket conduit needs to hopover the light circuit conduit. Can you buy these ready made or is it a case of bend your own?

It's a case of bend your own.
It's known as a bubble set, or saddle set or a few other names

Or you could use an intersection box.

Which reg is that then? I must have missed that change.

They are..mainly as the lights are broken up (to allow me to have light while fixing another) and it results in that 20mm being on the full size..

Got the spring already, just a matter of time saving, why spend the time bending it when you can buy off the shelf...

I didn't mean you have to have them in seperate conduit lol, I meant that he must have had them already wired in seperate conduit so needed to go over the lighting conduit already installed, this may not be the case was just having a guess.

 

[Hellmooth]

Good timing lol! How big is the been, surely it'll take you longer to buy it off the shelf than bend a piece of conduit?

DIY = .. .. yourself.

Cheers. Thought they'd sneaked a change in!

And I agree bend it yourself - a ready made 90 degree bend costs almost as much a 3m length of tube.

I've never seen a pre-made "cross-over", presumably because if you wanted to cross a 4" soil pipe, a 40mm waste pipe and a 20mm conduit you'd have to buy three different size fittings. There would need to be hundreds of variants to cater for all possibilities.

Bubble set in pvc takes no time, do the centre bend first as with steel.

Thats what I was thinking in the interests of lazyness

Business opportunity for someone then...money to be made...
