It great to see tricks of the trade for those of us not in the building game. 👍

Mate great video. Just a handy tip - if your draw rope breaks it's not the end of the world. You can use a small plastic bag with your new rope attached to it. Stick the bag in one end and vacuum it out the other. Can use a blower sometimes too. Also just be cognisant of the guidelines with electrical depth and concrete depth requirements. 👍👍

Thanks for another interesting video 👍

[@syntaxis5584]

just an FYI for cables berried less than 500mm you need at minimun 75mm on concrete above the cable and a minimum of 300mm cable depth, any less than that it would need to be an armoured cable.

[@dima685ds6]

Awesome video. I am doing a short run from the house to the carport and have one question - does the conduit have to be orange and 40 mm diameter? Are there any regulations in Australia that specify which type/colour of conduit should be used? I used the usual grey one and put the tape over it. A great piece of advice to bury the shallower sections in concrete, which I will do this weekend! Thanks again for the video!

[@buildingstuffaustralia360]

Has to be orange for it to be visible and same either tape.

[@dima685ds6]

@@buildingstuffaustralia360 Thanks. Yes I put a warning tape above it but still wonder if I could leave it in grey conduit? Am I breaking any laws here or risk a fine? Just need to be clear.

[@bonebibleviper]

Thanks

[@TheArtofEngineering]

Is the cable a special type for in ground?

[@buildingstuffaustralia360]

No just the right thickness.

G'day

[@gregedwards7485]

Why did they drag a self pulling trencher, hold it back and let it drive with the chain to pull forward

[@buildingstuffaustralia360]

It wasn't self propelled as I said in the video it was a manual one.

[@dougie6221]

lose the heavy music, its not necessary in a serious technical video, it spoils it completely

[@gregedwards7485]

As a sparky I do all the work or none, lot more involved than sticking a cable in a conduit

[@buildingstuffaustralia360]

That's exactly what it is. Dig hole. Cables in conduit. Then cover with dirt. Couldn't get any easier.

[@TheMFrelly]

I have know problem with the customer doing it as long as I can see it all before its covered and then I say your not getting that on your ccew..

[@zoltrix7779]

@@buildingstuffaustralia360 Yeah, but its not technically legal. The electrician is suposed to do the consuit and cabling work. I guess you did check with them cable and conduit sizes?

[@buildingstuffaustralia360]
