For sloped ceilings we like to use hinged ceiling brackets from Legrand VAN GEEL. No need for bending rods!

[@jamesmcintyre5647]

Thanks for sharing. Really enjoyed this video. I haven’t done industrial for over 20 years so good to see.

I know you use a bandsaw to cut the strut just got a Milwaukee metal circular cuts though it like butter leaves a great factory edge. We also hang a m10 rod off the ceiling and use it to stick the laser to for setting the strut Hights. Great video keep them coming 👊🏻

That’s a handy little level. Nice work and content.

[@dukenukem8381]

This method went above everybody's head

Mate, nice installation. I do these big cables on a daily basis in Germany. Please look into the Erico Caddy Rodlock System. What a nice invention. I bet that you are even faster with these.

[@residualelectrical]

Thanks Max! I’ll checkout the Erico bits, nice one 👊🏼

The galvanizing paint doesn't only come in spray form 😉

[@kristiangoransson6104]

How come all cable trays that we see British sparks use are suspended like this? In Sweden we use supports that goes up from the middle of the tray or ladder. That brackets gives us the ability to lay the cable up instead of necessarily having to pull it through all those brackets that you use.

[@cliveramsbotty6077]

saw you do that paint trick in an old video years back, gamechanger. have you done any kind of training course on the cdm regulations? i'm looking for one. cheers

Mic one dought u own eletrical work or any company eletrican for u what

[@residualelectrical]

I have no idea what your talking about - sorry

[@jonesconrad1]

why don't you get some non spray galv paint '? and just dip it, spraying the cap or a board seems wasteful and your still breathing the aerosolised paint.

[@residualelectrical]

That works great too, both applications have their benefits - this was an old can of spray I’ve had for a while so made sense to use it up 👍🏼

[@jonesconrad1]

@@residualelectrical at least you don't accidentally kick it over with the spray can method.

Nice Mike , we have just finished the containment to the workshop and server room of a tech company . Trunking , basket and tray hung from the ceiling on trapezes . Be wary of the large cables pushing the trapezes when you bend them and tie them in .

[@residualelectrical]

True! It’s also great for getting into places a brush can’t!

[@residualelectrical]

Nice job! We got the cables in on Friday actually, had to brace a few bits here and there to make sure the 185’s didn’t destroy the place haha!
