I'll bet it comes pre made! Very nice and made in a long length - someone's got stones OR lots of offcuts!
Respects anyways! Peace out!

I didnt mean to load so many pics i didnt think they were attaching but obviously were ooppss.! Not taking credit for them just spotted while at a leisure centre today. Very neat and good to see

...I bet he pulled the cables before he formed it...

It's running left to right

I reckon he used the fill it with sand and twist it round approach on that, or a XLLLL former !

I've got a bit of a dafty on just looking at that.

Looks neat but, given the saddle spacing on the straight run, shouldn't there be a saddle closer to the internal corners? I'd say they are a bit 'unsupported'.

@bigspark17 I deleted all the duplicated images for you.

Very nice, I would have drilled straight through, and used it to hang all my jackets up if it's a void.?

Personally I wouldn't rate it as it breaks all the rules for number of bends without a drawing-in box etc. A conduit system must be rewireable and it is a breach of BS7671 to draw in cables until the conduit system has been completely erected.

 

[Risteard]

OK Have just noticed a couple of BESA boxes now that the pictures have been tidied up but most of what I said still stands. Four ninety degree bends between boxes?!?!?!

 

[Rocboni]

I think an exception has to be made here, a pull box would have been better at both sides instead of just one, however if there are not a lot of cables in it they would have been easily pulled in. You cannot deny that it hasn't been well executed.

 

[Risteard]

You cannot deny that it hasn't been well executed.

Well sufficient drawing in boxes is a critical part of conduit installation so it has to be a demerit if the system does not comply with BS7671!

A box mid-way on the front of the pier,would have allowed ease of pulling,and additional support...but we're getting a bit picky...

Go and check out Aesop's fables,when the Gods were asked to make the perfect man,and note the moral
