Hi,
As in header - - I am currently in the process of tidying up some wiring
and plugs in my garage.
I am replacing an old metal 4 plug socket block and want to fit two new
2 plug metal boxes like these or the cheaper version from screwfix:



http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/...=null&ts=47795

I have a 25mm conduit coming down the wall to the place I am fitting the
boxes and i would appreciate it if somebody could advise what bits I
need to connect the 2 boxes together with and also to the 25mm conduit.
I have looked over the screwfix site and just get a bit confused with
the parts I need - -I was thinking of the galvanised coupler or some
sutch? Thanks.
ps. Hope the link works.
Stuart.


Hi,

Those boxes take 20mm, so you will need:

Male *or* female conduit adaptor (I prefer the female) per knockout used:

20-25 reducer:

Clips (first are good, 2nd is more ubiquitous)

And some 20mm conduit between boxes.

Tim,
Many thanks for your speedy reply.
Great help,
Cheers.

Oh - and although you can do without it for a dry install, I prefer to
solvent weld the joints.
