i will be putiing two 20mm metal conduit through the wall the with two deep boxs

100 by 100 at each side should give some room for the bends i hope

Yes I was thinking of the 25x16 plastic mini trunking.

Not a good idea to have two seperate conduits for tails you could get problems with currents between them.

Or some 25mm or 32mm Galv

 

[moose man]

might up size the hole to 1" then use some plastic pipe i think that will carry

the tails and the main earth to the cu

 

[batty]

Which room is cu going in?

 

[moose man]

in the hall way on the out side wall off the house

 

[batty]

Is it straight up if so you could probably use 38x25 trunking with a bit of space.

 

[moose man]

Thanks for that batty it is straight up i think i might go with that

sounds good to me

Please remember your DNO maximum length of tails to be protected by their Head fuse, you may ned a fuse switch at the Origin to protect the tails.
