This month's Tel's Tip.

Ever been about to fit some pvc conduit and found you've not got your bending spring?????

Panic not.

Cuts 4 pieces of 10mm GN/Y singles to be long enough to go past where you want the bend. insert into tube , warm tube with hair dryer or friction, bend over knee or whatever method you prefer. remove bits of cable. Job done. ( this is for 20mm tube. work it out yourself for 25mm ).

Cool, as a bonus you get to take the short lengths of cable to the scrap man after!

tels tip number 2 - always carry your bending spring in the van with your conduit! Just saying - don't shoot the messenger!

Not impressed an elbow and a bend, having an off day??
Can't remember when I last used an elbow.

 

[Rpa07]

Why did it need a bend, could the vertical not have been shortened for a 90?
Not questioning your experience Tel, you've got 65 years experience on me!

Glad it wasn't only me that thought that! Inspection elbows and bends are gross!

 

[telectrix]

nope.due to where existing cable exited the house wall, vertical tube was too close to corner to make a 90 bend,
