Before you strike it with the Galv spray, give it a good blast with Brake Cleaner (spray) it will strip all the cutting compound and factory grease right off, helping the Galv spray to make really good adhesion, because your brief wipe with a dirty rag isnt doing anything but remove the heavy deposit.

Great test piece for an apprentice that reinforces dimensional tolerance, cutting & threading, bending to correct angles, perfect.

I was doing running couplers and nipples back in the 90s on mainly RAF bases as an apprentice sometimes with a conduit bender that had been repair welded. Wouldn't it be better to just buy the nipples if they are still sold? it would save deburring and time threading?

I might be being daft, but in what circumstance would you need to bend conduit into a closed loop like this

Demo only for this - usually joining two fixed points

Cheaper than an "Ericsson" US term for rigid conduit coupling.

The American National Electric Code (NEC) prohibits the use of running threads to do what you’ve done here. Instead we use a 3 piece coupling.

Running threads at couplings for electrical conduit are a code violation in the United States. NEC article 344.42(B).

I understand that conduit are regulated in UK and Ireland, what I can't understand that you dont use kopex as rest of the world! No hard feelings but this is time and material loosing!

🤣🤣 you electricians! this is what's called a long screw connector and we in the Gas pipework industry were using these YEARS AGO! before unions! Electricians trying to be pipe fitters 🤣🤣🤣🤣 haven't a clue. Premadonnas.

Iv just trained to be a electrician and iv done gas for 8 years previously. This is the one thing that I don’t understand about conduit it’s so crap when you do this. A union is so much better and is a much better connection especially is your earthing it
