Can some tell what a 20mm nipple looks like

Don't forget it is critical to paint the exposed threads after making the running coupler.

Oh ok, is there any specific paint to use to keep the look consistent?

I've tried to understand what you meant but for some reason still don't fully understand. I appreciate your help though.

Could somebody possibly show me a picture of how a fitted running coupler looks (whenever you get a chance) thanks again

A 20mm nipple is a coupler sized threaded piece of conduit, an example of the uses of a nipple would be to screw into an unused conduit box out let that you wished to add some extra conduit. 20mm Conduit Nipple - https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Products/CO20NIP.html

A good electrician should never have to do a running coupler anyway

No don't agree, sometimes you can not turn on to piece, with big long sets, it's just impossible. I KNOW have done loads of it.
