I want to put a conduit in teh wall to run power and other cables upto a wall mounted tv. I've looked in Screwfix and Toolstaion and not finding anything that looks suitable. What sort of conduit do I need?
Sort of depends on what type of cables and how many you want to run to the telly, the scart connectors are enormous and you will need a large diameter conduit to pass the connectors through. You also should not run mains cables in the same conduit as signal cables.
I've only had to do this a couple of times and in my own home, but I run 25mm round conduit for the signal cables. It's a sensible enough size to be able to chase in, and will quite easily take a coax, cat5e and 2x HDMI. There's really very little need to use SCART connections any more with a modern TV and peripherals, which is just as well, because it's a horrible interconnect.
If you must run cables with large plugs on either end, run in some 25*16 mini trunking and put the cables into it, then replace the lid before plastering.
