[QUOTE="Sidewinder, post: 350408, member: 9512"] Just curious. I lost out on a job a few months ago, that has just popped into my mind whilst I was planning another! Listed Building, Church. I quoted fitting black externally graded "flex" to go around the route required to the external EM lights, of a suitable rating for the self contained "NM3" emergencies on the external escape route. I lost out, unsurprisingly TBH to another, not too worried as it was a favour for a friend anyway and not our target market. However, the "contractor" that got the job, used black PVC conduit. Now in one corner it was an acute corner of about 30 degrees, being generous. Now the "contractor" bent the conduit to 30 degrees internal angle, thus basically folding it flat. I have NOT complained to the "person in charge" yet, as IMHO it would be seen as sour grapes. Now I would not have done this, I would have used a "trouser" box and a smaller set in one leg, or a 90 box with a set further out of the corner. What would the rest of you have done, remembering that you are working in 20mm black conduit. Not quite as difficult and controversial as my Y/D motor thread, and not looking for a definitive answer, as, it is doubtful it will be changed now, but, the conduit is pretty flat in the corner!"
