Electrical Wiring: How to Run Power Anywhere

September 27, 4:16 PM [GMT -5]

It's really important to stress, that installing electrics aren't just a case of picking the cable from the van and throwing it in. Depending on the distance from the property and the loading the circuit will need to be designed, there's a difference between a single light and a freezer in a small 6x4 close to the house, than a garden office with computers, lighting and heating 200ft from the house. We have also been involved in projects for garden gyms, saunas, spas and hot tubs.

All works in the garden, kitchen and bathroom are classed as special locations under BS7671, so work must be carried out by a qualified, insured and licenced electrician and submitted to the local authority for approval.

Yep, I've seen it too. In fact, was on a job where we did it. Worked perfectly. We wadded up a small piece of cloth...it went thru 300 feet of conduit in no time. Pulling the wires took a bit longer.

Also, an alternative to buying or renting the bender is:
make a fixture on the work bench with some 2x lumber...may take a few tries to get it right but kind of neat.
-or- use right angle fixtures...

I've seen electricians use a spool of heavy string for long stretches of conduit. They fasten a ball of cotton or a rag to the end of the string, stuff it in the conduit, and shop vac it through the conduit. Then they fasten the wire to the string and pull the wire through.
