Galv conduit question

[spynage]

Hi. Is there some kind of cable protector that I can pop on the end of length of 20mm conduit to stop the cable chaffing? Just running cable into vertical drops in a garage.

Cheers

Normal practice would be a coupler and a bush, I assume the end is threaded?

Coupler and Bush or ring. You shouldn't be running cables without some form of protection on the end

As above a coupler and bush

There are things called red heads in America I believe , but we don't use them here

Female Bush, or male Bush and coupler.

Female Bush, or male Bush and coupler.

Thanks for your replies everyone.

Yeah I know but I'm wondering if theres a rubber bush available a bit like you find on the old lighting conduits? Would save a alot of bother just for a slightly smoother cable entry!

Cheers

Thanks. What are those last two? The third one looks like a plastic pipe insert?

I’m sure they used to make rubber bushes for 20mm… just fitted over the cut end.

What about pvc conduit and silver paint

Galv conduit in a garage?
Bit OTT?

It's not actually a garage. No idea why I said that. It's someone's basement, just to look good!

Bellmouth, female Bush, rubber, insert.

Now to be fair I've had a few beers, but that sounds maybe a bit rude??

Those rubber bushes were for split conduit, the stuff you used to use prior to "the anyone can do this electrical lark" became the vogue, after three weeks training, when there was properly trained Electricians wiring up your new gaff.

When I search for redheads I seem to get a lot more 'specialist' results!

Edit: Not that I'm complaining or anything
