Discuss PVC Conduit Question in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
No the tube fits inside the fittings and Don't forget to use the adhesive!!!!!I’m looking to buy some PVC Conduit for some security lights rather than clip the cable. We don’t use it in work. But I know I need 20mm conduit but would I be okay using 20mm inspection elbows? I assume they just fit inside?

No, 20mm fittings are designed, for 20mm conduit, you may need a bending spring as well as a tube cutter if you are doing a lot of tube work, although a Junior Hacksaw will do the job just as well, although a cutter makes a better job of cutting use Heavy duty tube it's easier to bend and work with. In my considerable experience. Light duty tube tends to kink when bending,I’ve been given a length of 20mm PVC so I would need 25mm fittings.
Yep and saddles, box lids and screws and if outside some waterproof gaskets,Okay that’s what I’ve got. 20mm fixings, inspection bends and elbows. Looks like I will need some adhesive.
What they said as well above, can't remember everything can I?Yep and saddles, box lids and screws and if outside some waterproof gaskets,
Hope the poster is all clued up now good luck Matey.Twelve answers in 22mins is that a record?

Hope he aint stuck up, hope it works out for him, despite the banter.With all this new info, so quickly, I wouldn't be surprised if he's GLUED up.
Manufactured inspection elbows look terrible and amateur/DIY. Get a bending spring and make required bends. It's also cheaper in the long run.Okay that’s what I’ve got. 20mm fixings, inspection bends and elbows. Looks like I will need some adhesive.
Only thing I might add is that 'waterproof' gaskets don't waterproof. By all means fit them but when designing an external system always assume water will get in. Allow for drainage, by for example, fitting a terminal box at the lowest point with a small drainage hole. Do not enter lights and accessories from the top, come in from below or the side, and keep all joints out of conduit boxes.Yep and saddles, box lids and screws and if outside some waterproof gaskets,
