Conduit?

[IfInDoubtDIY]

Hi all,

How easy is it for a DIYer to install conduit? Either PCV or flexible? Putting up an outside light and toying with this as a neater finish.

Really easy use solid not flexible that stuff is rubbish.

You can get expansion couplers as the sun makes it expand and bend then it looks rubbish 12 months later.

Or just dont push the conduit all the way into the boxes etc, and I wouldn't glue it as it's a pain if you ever need to adjust it.

Thanks @pete01. I was actually going to ask about glueing.
