what's wrong with inspection elbows? how else do you come through a wall and then 90 degrees (up/down/left/right)? do youm bent the tube and have it sticking 4" off the wall?

Me, I use a back entry on an end box and shoot off from there, better than an Inspection elbow I reckon, but each to their own I guess.
 
Careful with the springs. Get one from the same supplier as the pipe you are using. There can be discrepancies between the inside diameter of different manufacturers. so it it can either be too tight to push in, or too loose and cause wrinkles.

whoever said bending the pipe with a spring would be more economical.... it depends how good you are at bending.

I see nothing wrong with using manufactured bends for neatness. All uniform radii, all the same.
 
I’ve ordered the pvc adhesive. The diameter is 20mm but the elbow and inspection bends and even the end boxes don’t fit inside the conduit. As I wanted to get it all measures and test fitted before using adhesive.

As the tubing doesn’t fit over them I assume you would make some cuts in the end to make the diameter smaller?
 
???? The pipe goes INSIDE the port on the fittings, it should stay there on its own, no need to cut anything, it just pushes in.

I know it should do this doesn’t it’s the same diameter. So it doesn’t push inside. Not sure if it’s the conduit or the fixings I’ve bought. The fixing are a brand make and the conduit was given to me.

I will get a photo to show you what I mean. I assumed that the fixings should fit inside, so I was a bit confused when they didn’t and thought do I need 25mm tubing.

I'm going to guess that you have 25mm conduit with 20mm accessories/fittings.
 
Measures the conduit and the inspection bend both 2cm.

No not if the conduit is 20mm, 20 mm everything Saddles, fittings and bending spring.
 
Yes overflow pipe, but if you must use it, asa it is thick walled I have successfully turned it down at the end by putting a mandrel inside and turning it on an electric drill with some sandpaper or file, gets you out of a problem if needs be.
