Any conlock converts on here?

What skill is there is cutting and threading pipe though?

Very true. Possibly more skill involved turning an Allen key above your head while holding the conduit in

The least of those required. Good conduit skill is all about measurement, bends, sets and doglegs.... installed to a situation requirements.
Nothing better than complex conduit installation looking spot on, with as few manufactured bends as possible.

True, I remember failing a practical cos i couldn't make a jump

Mastered it later in my own time and it came in handy

What got my attention here was isn't this conlock similar to the US domestic steel conduit ?

I only observed it as I was working in the electronics/computer industry at the time

It is yes, but it could all have developed from OUR old domestic 5/8 stuff used early and pre 60's...just folded steel with no chance of physical bending and, as a result, all manufactured fittings with pressure screw fixing. As a system completed, it could have been a real pain to wire with VIR cables.
