[QUOTE="Apache, post: 128119, member: 828"] Scenario - old shed, wired couple of sockets and light just in surface clipped T&E. Old shed coming down to be replaced with a new shed. Have stripped out the wiring from old shed to another shed as new shed coming next week. Now I could just replace what was there, but was thinking that wiring in plastic conduit would make a neater job, and there are a few dents in the T&E which I am not happy with [either way I will use new cable] it deserves better protection. Was going to get a pack of 20mm plastic conduit and some fittings ordered from Toolstation [slightly cheaper than SF]. Assume I require 'female' fittings to connect into the metal clad sockets and switches? What are 'male' fittings for? If I was to buy a roll of 2.5mm singles [say blue] could I sheath the ends at each socket [brown and green & yellow] or should I buy three rolls of different colours? Yes I know I shouldn't really be doing this, but all I am doing is replacing like for like.... :D Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
