UK Where and how are these conduit bushes fitted/used ?

[JagSingh]

Hi All.

Stumbled across these conduit bushes from Greenbrook/Norslo. Where and how are they used/fitted ?

GreenBrook B20 Conduit Bush 20mm Black PVC​

I was thinking it was the rubber covers that go over a cut end of steel conduit to protect where sheathed cables might come out… but these are pvc?

Can you give a link to a page that sells them

Grenbrook catalogue places these among grommets. Not seen anything like this in recent times, but have come across very old conduit run through walls with similar attached for cable protection.

ok... it is the same things... but i was thinking rubber, not flexible pvc

Extensively used during house rewires where the original installation was in metal conduit....
Conduit was just cut under the floor, bush on the end, and t&e pushed down the pipe to switches or whatever.

Not seen them used with anything so recent as T&E, but surprised to learn of their ongoing availability. I guess PVC will far outlast the old rubber version, but PVC conduit is cheaper and more convenient to use in such applications.
