Tel's Training Tips - Education Tels Way

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 ).

2" where the elbow is next that big blob of cement. more like 3" further up.and it's the brickwork that's out, not the tube

Only having a jest Tel, must admit I was never great with steel tube but I got by but with plastic I can loop the loop with no manufactured bends.

Sorry I can't ignore the walls - I'm not going to be able to sleep! This should be on 'dodgy trade pics'!

Just bend everything!! (ignore my unfinished hall walls)

He omitted for the purpose of the photograph! much like me taking my glasses off on all photos - glasses go out of style, so might saddles!

I don't think my neighbours would appreciate me drilling at 11PM!

Rough Baster****, the ingenuity of scousers ey, i bet you and Pete could compile a list of tips for us young guns.

Tel, that 10mm earth running adjacent to the conduit looks a bit rough.

 

[telectrix]

unfinished. as the existing 10mm was in the way, i unclipped it. after the pic was taken, 10mm was re-clipped and cable tied to the tube. well spotted though.

 

[westward10]

Cable tied to the tube!!

Cable tied to the tube!!

Ha ha. When I read it, I thought that would incense someone.

One of my bug bears people cable tying cables to existing conduits and swa cables.

You're not the only one! A bonding conductor running alongside a submain I can almost tolerate, but other than that I can't stand it.

Another related pet peeve is two P clips fixed with one screw, it winds me right up!
