So do you just use standard conduit but use the Conlock fittings?

That’s what they were doing at THFC.So do you just use standard conduit but use the Conlock fittings?

Not sure if the cut off the threaded ends or just pushed them into the fittings?
The thickness of the walls of conlock couplers and adapters is about the same as that of the boxes. Quite chunky compared to threaded couplers.
I think the advert I saw said it did.Are the grub screws satisfactory to continue the earth?
The company are advertising that it’s been used on some fairly major sites.Seem like you could only use it for exposed installations then, surely all of the screw joints would have to be readily accessible to ensure earth continuity.

I doubt that periodic checking of the tightness of the grub screws has been factored in to any costings.
I also know that on one site, that many of the grub screws are or will be inaccessible.
Memory’s not great, seem to recall a 2.5mm Allen key fits.Out of interest what size are the screws that hold this lot together ? Are they pointed ends ? Are they treated with threadloc or similar ?
I'm curious why anyone would even use this. It's obviously not explosion proof or raintight, what purpose is rigid piping if not for those 2 purposes??
Some customers only want the decorative effect of galvanised conduit in their oak barn garages etc , so the mechanical strength is not an issue as everything is fixed rigidlyI'm curious why anyone would even use this.

What skill is there is cutting and threading pipe though?The only experience I've had of it was in Dublin. It really takes the skill out of the job, but then most of the people i was working with barely had the ability to work out what cables were required for the circuit never mind putting up a simple piece of conduit. Don't think I'd ever use it myself, grub screw wouldn't be up to anywhere near as much abuse as a threaded joint.
