Best conduit to use for cable run (future proofing)

Anonymous user 23/02/2024 - 3.07 PM

I will be adding ethernet cables to all the rooms in my house and I want to future proof by laying down conduit to pull new cables through. Can anyone recommend a good brand of conduit to use? I'm open to PVC and flexible piping. I am leaning towards flexible piping at the moment for ease of installation.

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hello It is a best option to use a flexible conduit in your case.I would use a 32mm flex pvc conduit.Baer in mind when feeding cable thru,run an extra string or a cable to use it later to when feeding more cable thru that conduit,as i find draw wires and tapes useless on 5m+ distansess.Also you can't run your cat5/6 or any other com cables together with low voltage wiring.Also use saddles if running that flexible conduit under the floor or above ceiling when its in free air.It will stop it from bending when pulling cables thru.There is numerous brands of that product,avoid stiff glossy pipes.Hope it helps
