They don't even use springs to bend plastic conduit. Over the knee it goes. Who cares if it kinks? And they're too tight to buy bends and inspection elbows!!!!!

Andy, ive not seen that myself where people dont use bending springs, but what i come across a lot is when people use PVC 20mm conduit if the have to go over the skirt board they just force the conduit over without putting in a set. How do you think that looks i think its crap when they do that.

As for Pyro cable they think im from the Arc when i mention that stuff they have never made of a Pyro end in there life, & as for steel wite cable dont ask mate.

I agree with you about not putting in sets. Looks shocking. I used SWA myself to get a power point out to a water tank 50 metres down a bank. The supplier quoted me $5 a metre so I quoted the guy based on that. When I went to pick it up they added on a $25 cutting fee! Now I don't mind the cutting fee as such but if they'd told me at the time I could've worked it into the quote.

Re: conduit
 

andicee,
all the wholesalers charge the $25.00 cutting fee its been done by the cable companies who are just greedy so & so's.

you can also expect the cost of cable to increase again in July by 10% to 15% Australia wide then they are also talking about another rise in cable cost before the end of the year making a total increase of cable 29% for this year, imagine not adding that onto the price when you quote, it does not sound a lot but if your using heaps of cable & you dont know the cost has gone up you could be up shits creek without a paddle.

As for the SWA ive not seen any here myself, i used to love working with that stuff

Re: conduit
 

Hear, hear. SWA is a joy to work with. Looks the dogs too. Talking about the cost of cable...on second thoughts, better not do that here. I'll PM you if that's OK.

SWA looks crap compared to Pyro the same size!

Or is that just me?
