fittings for flexible conduit

[Harry Bloomfield]

Why not use 20mm threaded galv boxes and lids, or easier use threaded plastic wiska boxes and make your own junctions

The OP specified the box type, he wanted the flexible to connect to.

NO!! Read the product description.

Oh look. Obviously you need help.

See that last sentence?

Of course, you could always bodge it with some BluTac or a spare bit of chewing gum......

FWIW In one of the industries I've worked within the spec was often to solvent weld the flexible conduit into rigid fittings.

Make sure that you get the same brand fitting as the flexible conduit.

I have found that if not they do not always go together well due to design differences.

One of these?

The female version is better, a short bit of rigid conduit to join it to the besa box, then screw the flexi glands that Harry suggests into the thread, throwing the bush aside

Personally I have never had a problem with solvent welding plastic flexible conduit directly into fittings...

What do you mean by this @SUNRAY?

 

[DetlefSchmitz]

No but why bother under a floor ?

I did it to slow the mice down.

Nope. Go into your friendly local SF, explain what you are attempting, and they will advise.

Screwfix won't advise. They would have absolutely no clue about it.

They would need to be Earthed. To enter a PVC BESA box a short stub of conduit into a female adaptor with the bush discarded, and into the kopex adaptor would be the best. But as @Murdochcat asks, is kopex really the best solution here?

They will know what bits, they normally supply together. The flexible conduit, is fairly useless without the ends.

Screwfix know nothing about electrical installation. They're just a joke shop.

In my opinion, and guessing between the lines - A definate no!

Would it need Earthing ? I assume it's no more than 24VOLT

Maybe he can only want what he knows about.

I had to use the corrugated fitting suggested earlier. This screwed on to a female connector. I then needed a short bit of rigid pipe to go from the female connector into one of those round box connectors.

That's the proper way to do it
