I want to install 20mm oval PVC conduit in channels for Part P first fix check. Is it OK to use pink grip or similar? Or do I have to use clips?
I can only find round crampets and not oval.cant you get some crampets??
That's what I did in the bedroom for a 300mm length behind the skirting board. Actually, after priming the chase with PVA, I applied the Easi-Fill ('cos it's an adhesive too) to the back of the conduit and pressed home - easier than trying to get to the back of the chase.Brush the dust out of the chase, spray with water, trowel in a bit of filler or plaster, push the conduit in, remove any gloop that squeezes out.
I'm just doing what I'm told.the LABC electrician wants to see the conduit/wiring exposed for first-fix inspection. The 'trouble' with the above method is that the conduit tends to get fixed and covered in one go.
He won't be able to see the cable inside the conduit either, can't imagine it being a problem.
