@@MatSmithLondon Hi Mat, for starters there is no such thing as a dumb question, just dumb answers. To answer your question regs 134.1.1 and 134.1.4 , these however would also depend on your engineering judgment . This trunking was fitted into an industrial unit, which can be damp environments especially at higher levels due to temperature changes. Most of what I fit is in plant rooms, which also have environmental changes which can cause condensation and damp. How long before it rusts, totally depends on environment the trunking is to be installed. We recently done an upgrade on a plant room which I originally installed 25 years ago, due to correct installation methods the old trunking and conduit were still in sound condition. Hope this helps. Regards Eddie

That was my only issue with anything in that video. I hate with a passion opening up a board/trunking to find that it's been bushed and the bushes are full to the gills, but the board still has capacity. Much rather paxolin or even some manufactures are now making folded edged bottom plates instead of the fully sealed ones as shown in the video

@@darylsavage119 fair point, totally agree. Thought there is 6 x 38mm bushes in bottom and also 6 x 38mm in the top, More than plenty entries, if they were all filled to the gills, both the DB and trunking would be undersized. Just a thought.

@@eddie_pegasus_electrical fair enough, typically in the shop fitting I do, we have 6 or 7 boards fed of a select panel, and the boards are all different sizes fed by either a top or bottom entry 12x9 trunking, so in our situation it would be awful to bush, but every situation is different!

How has he NEVER heard the term Gary Nevel? I'm also wonder if he knows what Poets Day means? Going back to spraying the trunking? I'm just wondering why he didn't file the tray properly, because when I file things. I make it so that you can rub your helmet along it, so it's baby smooth. When I did my apprenticeship with W. E. Mannin's, everyone always took the piss out of us. Saying we spent more time filing, than doing the job. Well there was this one job where we had loads of subbies and they couldn't be ducked to file or even do a decent job. So Paul (who was a good friend and a gold card like myself) ended up cutting his hand open on the end of a bit of tray and had to go to A&E. You can probably imagine from then on that NO ONE took the piss out of us filing properly. And ever single subbie was told countless times to file properly. Even if it's something your never going to see or touch, you still file it. I recon there's a lot of people that'll agree with me, but going back to subbies. There's only 1 out of 10 that are actually any good at their job. You also NEVER lend them anything because they'll either break it or loose it. This is coming from years of experience btw and you can size them up straight away. It's only the 1 out of 10, that you'll trust with tools as well. I know this is a really long rant. But it's true 😐
