    What is wrong with conduit

    Is it just me or are you guys also battling to bend 25mm pvc conduit?

    I know how to bend and it's not my spring bender.

    As soon as you apply a bit of pressure it just kinks terribly and closes the bend.
    This was a bundle of "Nur" conduit.
    Terrible stuff.

    What is a reliable make of good quality of conduit that can actually be bent?

    I'm busy with a 450m square house only using 25mm pipe and can't battle with sh!t conduit.

    We have found that if you buy Make X conduit make sure to buy Make X spring

    There appears to be a tolerance allowance in the manufacturing of conduit which differs between manufacturers
