Two cables through conduit

[diyterry]

Morning, hope your all well. Is it okay to run a 2.5mm and a 1.5mm cable through the same 20mm conduit?

As conduit is designed for singles cables it's not intended to be restricted to only one cable. But you haven't stated what it is you're trying to achieve.

I take it, you mean T&E cables?
Yes you can run 2 T&E cables through conduit.

Might be tricky hauling them through bends can you not use singles.

 

[diyterry]

Yes, your quite right it is fiddly. I'am going to run two conduits down the wall and not be so lazy.

Yes indeed

I was just being lazy and run one length of conduit, but having tried getting two lengths of cable through the conduit I am going to put two runs of conduit in.

You could use 25mm conduit instead

if it's a straight run with no bends 2 cables will be a doddle.

My pal who was assisting me with feeding t&e through conduit sprayed them with a silicone spray from skewfax, and all went well until my CK strippers refused to grip the insulation...

I use that silicone spray on my mermaid costume.....when i don't want unnecessary attention

Pulling lubricant? Thought that was just another name for vodka.

I did an Aiport earlier in the year and the lighting circuit was in 25mm conduit wired in 3 core t&e in 2.5mm and yes it's not easy to get hold of. And in LSF plenty of swearing going on during the install. And the reason why not in singles because it was run along tray !!

Or lube.

it will go in a treat.

We did a school last year where the architect had designed lighting in 2.5 lsf. Just a nightmare

can you repeat that CG, I missed that .

 

[Risteard]

Yellow 77 is good for conduit. Again singles are the correct cable type for a containment system like this though.

We did a school last year where it burned down from the lighting in bell wirer , Just a nightmare.
