Do you Even Flexicon?! Garage/shed Electrics - Electrician 

Love the random phone line in that shed. "HELLO!! YEAH.. I'M IN THE SHED.. YEAH.. IT'S COLD, AND RAINING ON MY HEAD!!!"

Hat off to Nick ! You got a great apprentice! Leaving him to tackle that garage mess!! Fair play to the lad! That’s the degree of responsibility I like to place on my guys and girls ! It gives em great confidence!!

The little light on the switch is usually used as a locator so that when the light is off and its dark you can see where the switch is located. I would have glued a female adaptor into the last conduit box so that the flexi termination could be screwed into it if I were to do it your way. There is more than one way top skin a cat .... i.e. You could have changed from T&E to a SWA cable and clipped that all the way or used galv conduit instead of plastic. I would have put a double set in to get a through box onto the wall pier and then carried the conduit on round the corner with a bend so no flexi required. Finished job did look OK though, good job.

When Adam was originally saying maybe flexi conduit all the way across I was thinking noooo noo, solid all the way and just flexible at the ends. That’s exactly how I’d have done that too 👌🏼

Glad Adam joining in more and giving you good as you give 😆

Neat and tidy job Nick. Personally I would have JB’d the original cable as soon as it left the house and ran an SWA over to the shed. Still better than it was before👍

Hi Nick/Adam, Adam’s confidence and knowledge is growing with reference to videoing installation! Sweet job! 👍⚡️

Lovely and neat work I like the change from hard conduit to flexi con looks really good plus so much easier then try to feed 6mm through bends Another fantastic job 👌🏻

Sit down Nic ., Early retirement......good to see Adam taking the lead here.... Wish I could find an apprentice that has his attitude... Nice job guys.

Great job !!!!! as a DIYer if all the electricians ive used over the years had done half as good a job I would not of taken to do electrical work myself. Great job !!!

Visually it looks good 25mm might have been better if it was tight. SWA would have been my 1st choice.

Adam. The light on the switch can be on when the ceiling light is off. It helps you locate the switch in the dark. Well that’s what MK did 30 years ago+

If you don’t need a joint in the cable. You could do without the boxes and make it even neater. Just glue a conduit female connector on each end of your solid and screw your flexicon connector instead of the bush, I sometimes use this to hop round obstacles instead of being flexible all the way. Avid follower, good job boys.

I use a straight coupler to change between pvc conduit and flexicon. If you want, you can glue the flexicon into the coupler, like you do in the endbox. Unless you need to make a connection, use an endbox, otherwise straight from hard conduit to flexicon. Greets 🤘

Dear, Brother I am from India I am working now in oman for 4 years as a maintenance Electrician at Sohar university like your video. I wish one day I would go to Canada or malta for the job. Thanks for the information.your video I liked. Thank for the video. Bye see you soon.

IP enclosure , join the 6mm t&e in Wago's then either high tuff or swa direct to BG CU.

Great vid Nick I have a nearly identical job tomorrow 👍🏻

Next level Adam 👍👍Byeeee

Great job! They’d be better off getting anew shed too though lol. Good video mate 👍🏼

I love the electrics even house electronics

Nice job lads not a lot else you could do with the conduit really . I would have done it the same way. Great video as always 👍

You appeared on my TikTok yesterday and now my recommended

you do good job . Adam and Nick

I had a pig of a job today. At least 3 of the 4 rings were cross terminated. Just finished and tested CU change a few minutes ago. Two of the rings had broken earth. Oh what fun 🤦‍♂️

IMO would have been a good idea to use something UV rated like SWA, even if you had to join the Twin and earth on the outside Wall with a IP rated box, PVC conduit can degrade over time in sunlight

IP JB at the house , changed to swa/hi tuff. Or possibly galv conduit on top/side of piers (depending how it looked) . Either way nothing is ever going to look perfect with the types of bends needed. All in all think the flexi actually turned out quite nice visually in the end 👍

22:50 DIY (so I have time to faff about), but I'd probably try and use the hard conduit with some elbows solvent welded together. Also I prefer saddle clips like the Talon ones where there's a single screw that is hidden by the conduit.

Haweh man Ad, get the bender out! Lol it would take me about 150m of conduit it failed attempts to get round them bricks.

Chappie, the reboot of Short Circuit!

Solid all the way kick it off straight into the back or side of the DB for me

Why not run a SWA for the garage supply especially as it’s external exposure to the elements

What Flexible Conduit do you use and we’re o you get it from. I bought a contractor pack a couple of weeks ago and wasn’t impressed with that but what you used on this job looks mint.

Anyone else noticed the dodgy BG RCD’s? I’ve had several be faulty where they introduce a resistance into the circuits they supply of approx 0.5 to 0.65 ohms, I’ve had to replace quite a few. Won’t go near them when I’m looking to install any new consumer units.

You left the telephone line dangling.🤣

What size flexi conduit would you get 2 x 25mm tails and 16mm g/y down?

white conduit & flexi looks nice but is it UV safe?

Solid conduit or white fp200. Never flexi for me I’m afraid it just screams “I can’t do the bends” but each to their own I guess 🙏

Not trying to troll here, but I'm actually looking for flexible conduit. Here in the Netherlands the only thing we have is 16 and 19mm flexible yellow PVC which isn't UV rated so it gets brittle when used outside. Which type/model of black flexicon? should i import for use outside on or above ground ground to disguise low voltage wiring ?

Great vid again lads. I don't know how easy this idea would of been but could you have possibly drilled a 22-24mm hole through the side of the brick for your flexicon or conduit to go straight through? I would have to be there to see first but I might have done that. But still a really neat and tidy job Adam 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍👍

Another great video - Adam: you are developing some impressive presentational skills!

Great vid guys, I have a similar dilemma in regards to to flexi or conduit. Flexi would be easier but I think conduit would look nicer. It’s for lights on a wooden fence where it’s not going to be seen

Nick won’t be able to resist you dressed in flexi con 😄

Where are you on the issue of exporting PME supplies outside the "equipotential zone" and making into a TT system?

Great job and good to hear you're busy 😎

9:45 look at the tree. theres a face. im sure its David Saverys mate Nige.

Bundy Flexi at its best,both good job 👍

Why do people use flexible conduit in garage installations? Pvc conduit would is much more suitable for this type of garage/shed install, unless there is chance of impact then galvanized is more suited. What is the benefits in using flexible apart from eliminating some bends and box's?

Leaving flexicon debates aside 😂.... what make is that folding organiser case at 13:48 on the floor?

Why have they got a plug in air freshener in the fuse board cupboard?? Strange times!

ideally would of replaced that cable. as it's been exposed to uv. no doubt it was tested and ok etc. What's that music please?

Hello nick and Adam you guys are the best ever

Why didn’t you run it in SWA instead of flexicon

why use a RCD shed board, when new house main board is RCBO? Just curious. Good job.

Never ever would of considered using flexible conduit here our anywhere tbh I’ve been a spark 20 years and only used it once our twice on big construction sites never domestic installations. I’d of used armoured cable personally but to be honest it looked pretty neat when completed so fair play. Please tell me Adam is now getting paid to work though? He has a decent knowledge of the trade now and seems a handy kid to have around

haha...."water tight to a degree...." you mean it leaks!

Is Adam actually on RU-vid? Link me bros. Cheers.

Think I'd kopex both ends and plastic conduit in the middle,but let's be honest as electricians were prewired to slag off each others work lol so I'm probably just lying to myself when I say I'd do anything but the easiest,cheers

Or swa ? 🙂. Edit: white conduit looks nice on that wall.

Why do you need a CU for 1 light and a socket can’t you just put the light on a FCU

They are good eyebrows to be fair 😜

Flexi is the devil. I would have installed steel personally but if it had to be plastic I would have bent using a spring and double set it around that pillar. No sparks should be using flexi unless in very limited circumstances.

I personally woukd not use white PVC conduit, nor white flexible conduit outside, have you never seen UV damage to white PVC conduits ? I would be surprised if you have seen it UV rated. It's just the same with those white/ light zip-ties, they are just not UV rated. There are specific UV rated black zip-ties, usually Nylon 66 and with stainless barbs as opposed to the moulded in type. Flexicon is very handy stuff but... I would now never use that white version externally. Many years ago I used it for a temporary supply to my own garage and a few years later it was already degrading, first it goes dull, then slowly the UV light breaks it down and almost looks like some rodent was chewing through it, next thing is its looks like powder ! Onne I saw the initial degradation I left it installed to see just how much it degraded over time, I of course could do this on my own property. I have witnessed grey T&E installed outside, on a catenary and in wet weather and in darkness I saw blue sparks tracking along the length of the T&E, a good light show it was, again, not UV rated. You bad material choice Nick 😉 no matter how neat, SWA is made for the job.

16:33 did anyone else hear that noise “hiiiiii” that’s scary

Hey, great video and also i sent you a message on your instagram the other day

Try out new BG board Gaz showed them

Or use steel conduit

What a real tidy job that conduit looks. From a retired sparky, i would have done it exactly the same.

be careful with the cheap bin companies mate they tell you its 17 quid plus vat but then there is excess weight charges after a certain weight if you have an 1100L bin it will most likely be 70 kg my advice to you mate would be look after your bin men and they will look after you I've been in the game for 8 years and certain customers never get an over weight charge because they look after us bottle of pop every now and then and a cheeky purple one at Christmas will save you a lot in long run mate

Have your customers thought of tidying up before you come? What a mess for you to work round.

Swa 🤷‍♂️

Doesn't look the best on the wall, I'd of ran the supply on a catenary wire...

Ignore this anti flexicon mob guys, its perfectly fine for this purpose and does a decent job.

Old Electrical work

yeh but, can you delete stuff off tradify if the taxman comes knocking? How does it work with private data? also, I maybe would have gone with NYY cable along that wall but, six and half a dozen. . . and I'm sat in front of a keyboard so don't have a clue what I'm talking about 🙂 Good luck when you's go up to Chris's. . . remember to take some lube

Better say your T

Swa

BG Adam I am disappointed in you !

You did it all wrong mate you're supposed to stand next to a light switch shaking your head saying 'why would anyone ever try to wire up a plug in their own shed isn't this terrible' with a slight speech impediment. Charge at least £100 an hour and bang an EV charger on the wall.

Meanwhile the shed still leaks ! Why bother I thought it would have been easier to push the shed over, and put a new one up After all you can polish a turd , but it’s still turd 💩
