Put in 25mm should be OK, but why would you put it.

Would 20mm be okay as I’ve some left over from another job. Don’t mind buying 25mm

So why does it need to be in conduit?

And how will you gland it off when it's inside conduit?

It’s going through the wall in garage to a consumer unit. The conduit is for outside when it’s running up the wall to prevent it from being damaged as cleats would look odd I think.

Why not clipped direct onto wall.

 

[telectrix]

maybe he wants it in tube for aesthetic reasons, save all those cleats???

Could do. I’ve got to go around a facia with some conduit as I can’t bury the cable. Then along some fences with some cleats. Don’t fancy a black cable on a white UPVC Facia.

use the conduit clips, not saddles, on the fascia. and 20mm tube will be fine as long as no tight elbows..

I will have a look at the conduit clips. Not seen them before. There is one bend which I’ve decided to use an inspection bend as it’s the end of the garage wall as I made a 90 bend and it’s not as tight and doesn’t look right. Using a prefab bend I think in this case would be better. Thanks for the help Tel. ??
