galv conduit in bathroom

[Adam W]

If you can use it outdoors I don't see why you can't use it in a bathroom.

No really I need one

Aye, point taken on the PTFE tape. was just thinking about additional sealing.

Good Lord, I actually had a good idea! I need a sit-down after that. Oh I am sitting down. Bugger...

For galvanised conduit to be used in a domestic setting like this, it'll need to be a top notch installation, to be as you say ''Aesthetically Pleasing''!! So i hope your containment and measurement skills are up to the job. lol!! I can see it being a real ball buster getting this type of installation right. What you need to try and avoid, is any conduit crossovers... Wish you luck!! lol!!

 

[Stroppy]

I'm not sure the patrons of the bondage dungeon are going to be too fussed over the quality of the conduit work.

 

[benji]

could use it as a towel rail

Nice....they do make stainless steel conduit you know...Muhahahaha (try cutting and threading the stuff though, real ball ache)

ptfe?

why not run a little silicon around the thread first and again when you have finished and it will be water tight then

Same problem as PTFE use, it would risk negating the electrical connection between the conduit sections, however after putting the joints together I would not see there would be an issue with smearing a small drop of clear silicone around the joint. On our commercial installs outside where water can run down the conduit, where the conduit rises vertically or is overly exposed, we do this all joints, have done for years.

Wonder how much that would cost?? Much of the Houses of Parliament has copper conduit installations, i know that project came with astronomical costs...

I remember our tutor at college in the 70s told us about the copper conduit at The Houses of parliament many years ago, I've never been and checked it out though lol

I have copper conduit in my house. I went with copper because of the building design it's exposed in quite a few places. Can't remember what it cost but there's only maybe 60-80 meters of it so it wasn't the end of the world.

 

[Outspoken]

Marvo, is it actual copper conduit or did you just raid a plumber for some 22mm pipe?

PTFE:- Plumbers tape for electricians.
