Conduit mess up and singles WOW! Please move my light? Metal saddles.

Moving a light in a small nail salon.
Who’d have thought it singles in conduit. Amazing.
Premature collapse and mains cable to short.
Rcd tripping during loop test because I had the neutral croc on the bar rather than on the top of the rcd along with the live/line conductor. Big enough to leave the good bad and ugly in.

CJR ELECTRICAL what is the problem when it’s flickering

[@jovetj]

*@Yonas Berhe* I imagine LED flickering faster than the camera capture rate.

[@realbartie]

Chris, love the fact that you are man enough to show mistakes (which we all have, we are humans after all) and it makes it more real. This time though you seemed more upset about the nay sayers and the trolls than I've seen before. Everyone is an 'expert' on here but nobody is actually on your particular job, and we all know that real life ain't always perfect. Please don't let them grind you down, and keep up the great work and excellent videos that you do :) Headcam rocks!

[@xxDADDYDAYCARExx]

Mark Bartlett hear hear bro.... totally agree with Mark 👍👍 It’s an absolute shit load of work doing the KZbin end of things after a full days work and family commitments too..... keep the chin up Chris and just comment on the good and the educational........ ignore the negative Nancy’s. For what it’s worth...... THANK YOU ❤️❤️⚡️⚡️👍👍

[@andrewyeo2353]

Agree with the positive comments , keep up the great work Chris and your positive attitude

[@mathman0101]

And from me here in the states great job as always Chris and ignore the trolls love the real rhythm of work sometime it all come to plan other times it’s a nightmare, no two jobs are the same even if they look and seem the same.

[@kangtheconqueror]

Of all the videos I watch, and I do watch a lot of elec. related vids, I reckon I enjoy yours the most. The banter; the professionalism, the clarity. Thanks Dude, I appreciate you spending the time doing them. Me? I'd never get the job done if I faffed around with a camera!

[@jut20five]

Great that you showed how things don't always go right , to be honest I said I bet this guy only shows the best of the best so thanks for the honesty ! Subscribing right now

[@0liver0verson9]

Always enjoy your videos. I work on the metering side, so it's interesting to see how you guys work on the wiring and installation side. Who knows, I might even learn something!

[@dishydave1819]

As an ex-spark, love your vids, always really well filmed (and yes headcam great) and love how you are always calm and methodical .... even when presented with a real impossible nightmare (that's me being very restrained and polite about some of the things you have found, rescued and repaired!) Keep them coming :-)

[@dermotcullen5263]

Dishy Dave you’re never an ex-spark. Once a spark always a spark. Copper in the blood😂

[@richardwash6678]

Great video Chris, love the headcam. Don't worry about those lot who believe that they know it all, use their negativity against them. Keep em coming. 👍

[@360Grissom]

Another great video. Keep it up Chris. It's a source of great enjoyment to me.

[@KlusterYogo]

Great vid as always mate. Love the longer ones 👍

[@stephencoster9532]

Hiya son... when I started hammer drills/ battery drills weren't invented. Rawl tool was the thing, a fluted round metal chisel, a drill with straight flutes, hold in hand & hit with a hammer, Rawl tool not hand but the number of days I went home with a bruised hand from making deep holes & the tool was not long, so yes, you always hit hand! Up a ladder, outside in cold/snow... foreman yelling at you for being slow!!! You don't know your born as my granddad used to say... lol. His last words to me were, "Stop shaking this ladder!" I learned in the 70's about 200 years ago... It's great to learn what's changed, your films are very good, keep up the great work please... Stay safe... Steve...

[@01arron]

Thank you for the info on the click rose. My parents moved into a house 21 years ago with one of these just randomly on the ceiling and never knew what it was as the plug part had been taken, the family before my parents bought the house had fitted display cabinets so I’m guessing that’s what they used it for, and also I love the headcam footage. Much more detail included with it 👍

[@robertdaniel3250]

your getting better at headcam.. defo good POV (with really good sound too) nice upgrade!

[@willford8475]

There was a couple of occasions where the camera wasn't high enough, like The Chewed Out Wood on the outside that we didn't see.

[@Jordanixting]

Really enjoyed the head cam footage, thank you for the upload.

[@nodwaa9227]

currently doing my electrical apprenticeship. really enjoying it so far

[@Callllum]

That devastating moment when she brings clients into the shed whilst it’s on fire and the conduit collapses

[@tspirit99]

Callum Docherty lol gotta create some work some how..... next you’ll be hearing that the ceiling rose cable needs to be clipped because it may snap and fall on someone’s head.

[@jakewallace8059]

Metal clips on plastic conduit because it might drop because of a fire, c'mon 😂

N Bundy when you picking one up mate ?? 🤣🤣

[@colh5910]

Loved the video and head cam Chris. Well done. I must admit though if I were the nail technician I would have dragged that small desk 3 feet underneath the existing lights and saved myself all that work. But then I like an easy life these days haha.

[@Cjrelectrical]

Did you watch the video ? 🤣

[@jofuji8255]

Love the head cam 👍🏻👍🏻

[@kiphakes]

You probably know this already, but if you drop the frame rate on the camera to 25fps or 50fps it will stop flickering (you might need to change from NTSC to PAL) Bloody love this channel and I'm not even an electrician.

[@graemebell8242]

Why bother with a gasket when the guy before hasn't even glued the joints. So he left the gaskets out so the water could drain out the UV boxes via the lids after it had got in via the spouts he hadn't glued

[@niallgilmore2411]

11:20 when you where struggling with the spade bits buy some auger bits if you ever get the chance. As Sparks we're always drilling joists etc my augers have lasted so much better than spade bits ever did yeah probably 4xprice but worth it

[@donnierobertson3088]

Great job

[@mre3820]

Like the head cam. Hate the light flicker 😳😀

[@johnoreilly7052]

Hi Chris yes the head cam is good idea and easier

[@petertallowin6406]

Did you get your nails done while you were there? Another no messing, honest video. Thanks dude. :)

[@Simonsimps]

15:43 Chris, how the hell did you leave that bit of paint in the middle lol. I hate blowout, the plumbers alway blow the face off my brickwork for the outside tap. Pilot hole then drill from either side. Much love and thanks for the video. :)

[@steveday7510]

Great Video

[@steve11211]

If the water is bonded in the house and as long as it is copper all the way then I don't think it does need a bond, would have to double check, I means always best to bond anyway.. With that short SWA I would disconnect from board, pull through duct to a wiska box on bottom corner of outbuilding then run another bit of SWA from the wiska box to the consumer unit.. Good job..

[@fatpedro5588]

My personal opinion, as a trainee Spark, is you are putting our the best content at the moment Chris. Very explanatory and very detailed. Where in the UK are you based?

[@dc-sd3gd]

A stands for auxiliary mate👍 you get the auxiliary terminals on the click marshalling boxes.

[@toolstotry9389]

Great video Chris but what is that magic wand thing that makes everything disappear at the end?

[@deanwaters]

like the head cam view keep on doing it :P

[@samarchaudhary2899]

Hi mate thank you for video very informative, can I please ask which cable do you run for outside patio ground lights? As it’s hard to make end inside fittings for swa cable? Have you got any video doing that sort of work please?

[@knightstemplar8379]

Oooh matron, you worked that shaft real good, warmed it up perfectly. I can see you're a master in shaft warming..

[@ScarredRealist]

I knew there'd be comments about the vigorous rubbing if I looked hard enough :D

[@jovetj]

I'm glad I'm not the only one with a dirty mind.

[@Baggiolyful]

Sometimes the conduit splits when bending because it’s a thinner gauge compared too other brands. I’ve had this torment many times.

[@sbmorris2k6]

Could you have gone into the back of a stop end box on the outside, would cover the hole as well looks a bit neater, always a good job though mate.

[@Ashleyhandz]

So I went on the screwfix website to buy some 20mm conduit and 2no 1way tower box used in this video, in the description it says only intended for indoor use…. I’m guessing it’s stated only indoor use as it’s not a completely sealed unit even with the rubber seal on the inspection cap because it has the hole to allow the connection of 20mm conduit. If I use this 1 way box and use PVC cement on the joints to make a water tight connection am I right in saying this will be more than adequate for outdoor use?

[@danwahh]

Hi Chris, did you end up having to re quote to change the supply to a TT due to the incoming water supply??

[@ImranKhan-cf8gs]

Good job mate I don’t like using the drill all the time prefer the screwdriver

[@escfxp]

Did the cabin expand or contract thereby causing the electrical work to become undone?

[@richylad]

Hi, the unused ducting that the swa should have been in - if the swa was in the ducting is there a cap that can go on the ducting that allows the swa to come through and be weather tight or is the ducting supposed to be left open 👍🏻

[@PJB71]

Chris where do get that Serrated grommet strips from, what you have used on previous videos.

[@andyh5465]

That hole around the incoming SWA tho - I'm guessing the installers name was Jack (ofalltrades). And who would put a fixed installation onto a movable desk?

[@betranddickson8156]

Hi, Chris love your work just had a query hoping you could help me out I've been looking for apprenticeships but I am having no luck so I was wondering what course should I do to better my chances? I am 28 years old and I have no experience but I've done my research and this is the field I want to get into. Thanks in advance.

[@jtk1ify]

Chris is the supply TNC-s or TT? looks like TNC-s whats your opinion on supply provision to outdoor buildings and has the House rcd been changed to TD

[@David_11111]

what software are you using on Ipad ?

[@stephenantliff4817]

Brilliant video, if you don't make mistakes then we will never learn. correcting other lazy installers is what we do.

[@petewormald]

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but set the gopro to PAL/50fps, itll stop the flicker

[@99081gbrit]

What certificate software are you using on the iPad pal?

[@billdoodson4232]

Love your videos, rarely have a negative comment, however an observation. Using a screwdriver for some connection to the way our forefathers did it. On that basis you need to start using hand cut slotted screws. You will soon be back to the impact driver and Torx head screws.

[@nigelsmith7955]

No bonding on the cold water copper pipe outside? What about it actually freezing? Also last sparky didn't caulk any holes up like you always do....

[@jurassicsparks5220]

Did you manage to tidy up the SWA outside?

Ashman Electrical Services it will burst if exposed - ive seen it on a farm barn where it was clipped to the roof rafters

[@jockas1]

I've heard that in the UK they run the water supply outside the house so that you can thaw it when it freeze in the winter ;)

[@jovetj]

I wondered about that, too. ‘Errrrr... doesn't it get below freezing there??’

[@valeraiacovlev216]

Great video chris, whats the song of end of video when u washed))

[@liammartin9540]

Would you ever consider taking on an apprentice?

[@GREGORY69420]

Use a blow torch to heat up the conduit and you can bend it without a bending spring and you can mould it to any shape instead of using corrugated conduit

[@ARElectrics]

Try another brand of conduit that might help. The type of installation would fall under C - Cables in a non metallic conduit. And what happened with the main water bond - As we have to record it on minor works? Regarding the RCD tripping times we are supposed to record the highest reading of the 5x results. As this is the most important reading which has to be below 40ms. If you had a high reading on 1x at above 40ms but below 300ms, anyone looking at the certificate would assume it isnt tripping within the value. The certificate doesnt state which reading it is. It isnt very clear. But I was always under the understanding it had to be the highest of 5x. Another tidy job though 👍🏼 nothing wrong with twin in conduit.

[@jj-hn2ll]

Could me Heavy Duty Spring & light duty conduit or visa versa with the conduit splitting scenario.

[@tuboid001]

Great putting a rubber gasket on the boxes, what about some solvent cement on the joins? Or did you not film that bit? ;-)

[@ashmanelectricalservices4318]

Yes, for some reason I always thought it stood for auxiliary too.

It's quite raunchy when you warm up and bend the conduit 🤣🤣🤣 Just to add... Vigorously rubbed... Got a bend... Poked it through. Omg

No insulation at all, that must be a freezing shed in the winter.

[@Mattja1]

Saying "this conduit is so cold" and there's an electric radiator right in front of you... Good excuse to have a cuppa while it warms.

[@tww5719]

How to bend plastic conduit,make sure you have the right spring ie light or heavy gauge,and use your knee where the bend is 👍

Please could you tell me what make of automatic wire strippers you were using?

[@wyndavies5044]

[@rik061119]

Rate the bending in the cold 🤣🤣👍👍👍

[@alexacb63]

Was that Screwfix conduit by any chance? What they sell as heavy gauge really isn't, it's crap and breaks like you showed so easily - proper heavy gauge is almost impossible to snap...

[@Cjrelectrical]

No I only use that stuff in desperate times. This was actual heavy gauge conduit (Expensive) just so cold.

[@Warner1981]

Nice work pal, here’s my 2 cents worth. Why not rewire the lights to eliminate any joints? And to save your bending spring the wire is supposed to pass through the inside of the spring so when you remove the spring from the conduit it reduces the chances of stretching the spring Good work

[@carlmarquardt994]

Decent tip that one mate.

[@donssyyt8337]

[@niallmacneill5525]

What was the reason for using steel Conduit saddles compared to plastic

[@jemseed]

Regulations if there was a fire the plastic would melt and cables would drop which could become a very dangerous situation if the cables sheathing melted.
