Nightmare with Steel Conduit Discussion ThreadNightmare with Steel Conduit Electrical Advice
So as I’ve asked about this a few times and I’ve had some time off over Christmas I’ve decided to start it. I’ve first started to cut and thread all the galvanised conduit. Assembled it all with the end boxes and dome lids.
I’ve then primed it and then using some ZG90 sprayed it white. I’ve then had a right challenge getting the right 10mm T&E through the conduit.
I am thinking I may use Tim’s idea of removing the sheathing and then butt crimp the CPC and use some 4mm single CPC
As I can’t assemble all the conduit then thread the cable through. Then trying the other way would destroy the cable.
Also some of the paint decided to come off. Despite having two coats and fully drying. I’ve also tried the D Line Fire Rated clips. They maybe okay for PVC Conduit but don’t work with Galv very well. So I maybe 25mm Spacer Saddles instead.
Would something like this work with plastic or is the cable too heavy to support it over a metre
