Default Using 15mm copper as conduit

Are you worried about the insides of corners etc? How is it assembled at
corners, surely not like a water pipe with fittings? I don't think I've ever
come across this sort of thing, most conduits I've seen are jointed black
painted tubes with a thread on the end which is often not used for fixing it
seems. Brian

Finally got round to looking at the upstairs lights in this place, and
discovered that all the chased-in cable uses 15mm copper as conduit
containing 1 or 2 1.5mm cables (well, could be 1.0)

My understanding is that this doesn't need earthing (it isn't) because it
contains normal T+E, so double insulated.

My concern is that when I pull new cable through it, I run the risk of
damaging it, particularly if I'm running two cables. I can deburr as much
as possible - it's already deburred - and tape over the edges - but is
there anything else to help matters?
