Discuss copper conduit possible or not in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
will just be a few straight stabs of it going from a socket straight into plasterboard ceiling- so can earth the glav conduit through using a coupler and bush and fly leading the back box- but how would this be done if using copper pipe? is there a simular thing to a bush+coupler for copper pipe?Copper Spraypaint maybe ?
I have saw some knocked up copper light fittings and personally don't see any problem with using 22mm copper pipe as containment as long as its adequately earthed.
But I could be wrong perhaps there is some reg lurking somewhere which I'm not aware of prohibiting the use of copper pipe etc.

there will be no accessible place to be able to bond in with out it being on show and look crap lol
solder or compression fitting ?
Pete999 is an expert for that.Polished MICC...
water would also freeze in steel conduit.Would there be a thermal consideration to consider?
Water freezes in copper pipes outside. Would PVC twin and skin be ok in copper pipe when winter hits -10 and beyond?
Unsheathed MICC.
Knowing the excesses of the house of lords and the gravy train that is parliament it was probably gold gilt and over time been worn away!Did you know that copper conduit was used for the wiring in Westminster Palace?
Use a stock and dye on the copper tube and fit your bush, couplers and Earth after.will just be a few straight stabs of it going from a socket straight into plasterboard ceiling- so can earth the glav conduit through using a coupler and bush and fly leading the back box- but how would this be done if using copper pipe? is there a simular thing to a bush+coupler for copper pipe?

Somehow don't think a regular set of conduit stocks and dies would work very well on copper tube.Use a stock and dye on the copper tube and fit your bush, couplers and Earth after.

Glad to hear you're wearing your orthopaedic shoes today. Surely you know how to use a S&D, respecting different materials, gauges and CSA.Oh right I stand corrected! do tell please.
What are you on about?Yeah, that's right, I'm a miracle worker because I may know or have done something you haven't which is still compliant.
Jesus, someone's rattled your sandals..Yeah, that's right, I'm a miracle worker because I may know or have done something you haven't which is still compliant.
Referring to ipfWhat are you on about?
I don't doubt it what with all the mickey Mouse qualifications some people have and claim to be Electricians.Or maybe being British, you feel superior to all all others. FYI. Compared to electricians in Germany, Scandinavia and Australia, the Brits are way behind.
Maybe, sorry about that. Not in the mood for sarcasm. Especially as I, as most are, just giving advice and opinions. Some of the replys are unnecessary. Hopefully, we are here to assist each other in the best way.Jesus, someone's rattled your sandals..

Then we are in agreement, let's move on.I don't doubt it what with all the mickey Mouse qualifications some people have and claim to be Electricians.
No Mate whatever gave you that idea, being such a smart arse I thought you would understand, seems your delusions of grandeur are misplaced.Referring to ipf

if a plumber sees pipework already on the wall they will utilise it, ignoring the cables already through it.Copper Spraypaint maybe ?
