conduit

Hi All, Going to replace an existing garden supply from the consumer box which has been switched off and made safe, the cable previously used is a 4mm standard PVC which was run down the garden to a garage 20m away. The garage is old and needs to be torn down at a future date so I don't...

I need to run some external grade Cat5e cable (that I already have) up my garden to my shed, however I need to protect it from being destroyed by Foxes and other wildlife. I am considering running it in 20mm flexible galvanised conduit, and am wondering if the galvanised conduit will stand up...

Hi all, I'm in the process of buying a house. I went for a second viewing at the weekend and essentially performed our own survey. I was surprised to see that the electrics were all in conduit. There was conduit visible up from the consumer unit and the lighting radial in the loft was seen to...

Hi, I am fitting a double outdoor socket. The Line cable will be connected to an isolator and then to the double sockets. I have IP68 glands https://www.screwfix.com/p/tower-male-comp-gland-20mm-2-pack/80851?_requestid=738934 to fix to both boxes but I need a bit of conduit between the glands...

Hi Guys, Im just running my utilites to my new outbuilding (still waiting to be built up to DPC). I had to run utiities first due to access etc. Is it ok if i run the swa beneath the dpc with a lintel and up through the concrete floor once its poured etc? DO i use a hockey stick to bend it in...

Hi Guys and Girls, I've recently had a few dodgy characters looking around my property, so I'm adding a new turret camera to cover some more of my driveway. I want it to be at a low-level so I can easily pick-up faces of people entering in my property. (My current cameras give a great overview...

A while ago I put a wall light up on the back of my house next to the back door. I believe I did this safely and this was my method: I took a spur from a nearby socket, chased the new 2.5mm T&E wire in the existing conduit (straight up from the socket), took this along the wall (at 100mm away...

What do you reckon my chances are in running 2.5mm T&E through existing 16mm OD conduit with an unknown number of bends (but at least 2) ?

Hello, I’m having an extension built on my house and whilst the footings are exposed would like to run utilities to the detached garage 2m away in case of a future garage conversion. I’ll leave them unconnected at both ends so essentially empty pipes and cables running underground from under...

I'm planning to mount a TV on a chimney breast and am trying to work out the best way to hide the cables (a power cable, HDMI, and possible an Ethernet cable.) What I picture in my mind is putting two holes in the chimney, one behind the TV and one at the side and connecting the two with some...

First post after getting my first house. So, I've traced the cables round and read up on the regs but I'm going round in circles with checking a few things. Do I need to get somebody in to put these things right before we start to decorate(over the next 5 years!) I would pay for a proper...

Hi all, I'm trying to run media cabling through a brick chimney breast and am looking for advice; I'm not sure how to build something that will allow me to access the conduit junction. I'd like to be able to re-run cabling at a later date without replastering. (Previous owners had VGA cables...

I am building an extension which is going to have a multi-media cinema and will require a large amount of network cabling. Do regulations on running cable through conduit under screed apply to low voltage network cable? I would ideally like to bury some flexible (non metallic) conduit under...
