We've been using some scrap bits of 20mm galvanised conduit to make some light fixtures for our set. Stage one is to bend a 180-degree bend and thread both ends.
** Used in this conduit light fixture **
20mm steel conduit - this ain't on EMT conduit
20mm BC22 lamp holder - used in the UK and few other parts of the world

    • That’s because we use lasers? String line in a finished home or building is just asking for a mess. Also, lasers set up in the middle of the room in like two minutes easy.

    • @@loganthesaint True, very good points yes the chalk can leave some residual mess and lasers are too very useful for most of the same jobs and often quick to setup too. I personally have had a string line in my tools since my first apprentiship tool kit probably because I worked on only large underground rail projects I.e concrete walls. But its still there now and I do domestic works mainly, its good for unfinished or hidden surfaces, almost unbreakable, never have to consider battery as chalk lasts decades and cheap as chips so has its benifits.

  • Love the videos guys. Just a wee pointer though. I was taught as a young apprentice electrician to file the conduit before unscrewing the dies it would then stop you flaring the threaded ends when filing after dies are removed?

    • Well, first, this is a video from the UK. NPT is a US standard, the British have their own standard for Pipe threads, so it's not likely that the threads you see in this video are NPT. Also, in the US, conduit is usually threaded with NPT threads, couplings are threaded with NPS thread, which is the same dimensions as NPY, but cut straight instead of tapered. This is so that when you use a coupling between two pieces of conduit, you can screw the two lengths of conduit in until their ends touch inside the coupling.
