Wiska box with earth gland and conduit?

[Powellm]

Just to clarify, are you intending to use plastic or metal conduit?

Which ever couple fits the run is so small I'm not fussed

Unless someone specifically asks, I never bother posting that certification and or notification is required.
I figure this is an electrical forum, not a building regulations forum.

Threaded galv conduit will screw straight in to the earth gland without need of a coupler.
If you do want to use a coupler, then you would need either a long brass bush or a nipple coupler and female coupler.

With plastic, a male adapter should have a thread long enough to reach the earth gland, you may have to enlarge the hole in the whiska box.

The brass plate is not threaded. You do not open the hole in the Wiska box you use the thread and then use the grub screw on the plate to fasten the gland.

What figures?
Put it this way if I can wire a 9 million pound aircraft avionics suite and air defence system. I'm sure I can manage a 10m swa line. And as I'll be notifying my local authority to get them to sign it off what really does figure?? Anyway it's my house and my insurance policy and some kind people have answered my quiry so... go figure.

I'm not doubting your obvious talents Mate, you are obviously well versed in wiring up aircraft, question is, can you honestly say, your service qualifications, relate to the rules and regulations regarding domestic installations, you may think so but it's very doubtful, imo, I really don't mean to be savage, domestic electrics, may be know where near the skill set of an Aircraft Tech, but there are rules to follow. Your insurance company may have something to say on this issue Mate. I wish you luck and hope you get the desired results you want.

Don't worry I have my 17th edition. That solves all problems doesn't it. I know there are rules to follow but that isn't the initial question here is it. How you can assume all that from me asking about if a coupler will fit alongside an earth gland you must have other talents apart from being a spark. I also work installing 3 phase motors and drive systems so don't deal with building control as it's not required in my sector as being a competent person I can do it. Hence why my buddy from the controls department will be signing the new circuit off. I could be a cowboy about it and not bother at all but thats not how i work.

 

[Pete999]

So you have your 17th, well you can navigate a book then.

Think I had better sign off on this one, for fear of saying something, perhaps I shouldn't.

Yea I've also read all the Harry potter books on my own too

Maybe you should have signed off before you started. The generous blokes/ladies already assisted with my query before you started piping up. So you were zero help anyway

Firstly @Powellm welcome to the forum, it nice to have all walks of life on the forum and you are clearly a clever guy with your background.
Also apologies for the interrogation you seem to be getting from Certain members, it's not something we encourage.
Off the back of that can all members please refrain from getting the thumb screws out everytime someone asks a question.
The op asked a specific question in his opening post that could have been answered without all the rubbish that ensued.
@Pete999 Not sure if you're hitting the vino a bit hard today but if so maybe don't post at the same time, it's never a good combination.
Any negative posts by anyone will be deleted, we have worked to hard getting the forum to where it is to start letting it slip back to the old ways.

if its only for looks what about some black waste pipe upto the bottom of the wiska box ?
