Earthing coupler for conduit

[robd]

Evening all, went to wholesalers today and asked for a 25mm galv earthing coupler...they don't stock, nobody ever asks for them etc.

Anyone got an online supplier for conduit etc that they can recommend?

Many thanks

Would a piranha nut be of any use?

Can't you use 25mm earth tag such as from swa gland pack

 

[robd]

Possibly, just need to earth a length of galv running up wall with tails inside, not used a piranha before so I'll google it...cheers

You need to allow for the fact that Tel is a Scouser so to him this thing is like poetry in metal.

Got to agree with E54, that looks dog rough.

It is, but you can see the reason for it can't you?

It means the manufacturer only has to make one type of coupler and just weld that tapped saddle on to make it into an Earthing Coupler.

Cheaper than making a dedicated Earthing Coupler maybe?

Is that actually a 'weld' on the side or just a blob of flux!

I'm not really sure.

I was being kind and gave it the benefit of the doubt.

i thought it was a bit of the exhaust fell off your MR2.

A neater one

very neat only fractionally more expensive

simple

what is wrong with BS951 clamps? !

 

[Engineer54]

What's more extraordinary is that the 20mm version (£1.86) coupler is more expensive than the 25mm (£1.74) coupler!! Work that one out lol!!
