Installed 100's of meters of this stuff for a project called Western link I worked on. Was at Deeside in a DC-AC converter station for off shore energy. By far the best and only trunking I have used since for my own jobs. A pleasure to install.
@@antonios4926 To be honest, i am retired now; so i don't know what todays BS7671 says about it. Whenever i worked in a warehouse rewire, we always used 50x50 metal trunking. However, i have come across cables fastened to cable tray. Hope that helps. This may be a question for Regulation Corner.
I’ve been using this range for years, really nice trunking to work with. Didn’t know about the template tool though 🤦🏼♂️, that would of saved a lot of time.
Very nice loved the rolled edges, it all falls apart when your cheap skate boss will not stump up the money for the factory bends and tees or the closure clip. I did like the rotation joiner you have to make sure all the cables go through that
Stepped drill bit for those 14mm holes... punch, 4mm hole, stepped drill up to 14. The stepped drill on fast speed is so nice to use. REALLY quick and smooth. Count the number of times it steps by the thuds it makes, real quick and no jerking action
Well designed, particularly like the template, it would seem that they have actually consulted an electrician ! Be interesting to see how it compares in price to standard no frills type .Personally I’d happily pay a bit extra, it ticks all the boxes in terms of aesthetics, and as you rightly point out , any additional cost would be offset by reduced installation time.
Looking to put this in my garage then you boys have done a review and that’s what I’ll definitely go with now! Where do I get the template though great little tool that 👍🏼
Not quite sure why any one would want to poke anything inbetween lids ( bearing in mind it's usually in industrial situations ) .what I've found in the past is that wholesalers normally carry most popular items but special pieces like the direction change have to be ordered sometimes a week in advance.
Those turnbuckles are gorgeous. But the external connector pieces are ugly and really ruin the look for me. I prefer internal connector pieces, bit more fiddly but look better.
Does the UK have like colourcoded steel pipes? for example, in Malaysia, we have Orange pipes/trunking for electric, Green pipes/trunking for telephone wires.
Is it IP-Fifty-Five? or IP-Five-Five? In my head it's always IP-Five-Five... but I have muddled myself after thinking of this too long and not sure how I actually say it outloud anymore.
The range is competitively priced and even more benefits come in on install - as the guys have mentioned - the product is 50% quicker to install than its' peers and this has been independently tested. :)

Looking forward to fitting this trunking in the coming weeks 👍
I used to love fitting trunking. But Salamandre have really pulled out all the stops here. Plus i love the template. #StaySafe
Thanks Brian as always 👍
Hi Brian. I cannot find the answer to this question. Do sheathed lighting cables need to be housed in metal trunking in warehouses? Please help

@@brianwood5220 I thank you for your reply. Enjoy your retirement.
Still, you can't beat a properly made bends and sets, just in the very extra situation when the premade bends aren't gonna cut it!
Great work!
I have never done much galv trunking work, but now I do mostly estimating. This might earn me lots of browny points, with the installation guys.

😃👍
Good idea but I think the screws in the lid is a bit unsightly makes it look messy
Great system though
Another great video from the eFix team 👍

Used it recently on a job, it is good stuff. Will be spec'ing again.

Salamandre by Legrand looks great and solid, thank you so much for making this detailed video.

From our view it’s reasonably priced and no extra bits to buy.
Beautifully designed and cut guys
👍
Excellent product, great vid, love tat lid click!
Most sites won't let you fabricate anything - all manufactured so great video but I definitely wouldn't be coming to Gary's college lol
Looks brilliant 👍👍👍
👍

Good question on the template - we’ll try to find a source for them.
@@efixx Cheers fellas, any little time saving tool I’m all for. Keep up the great content 👍🏼
Great system.
Great video,keep it up!⚙🔩🔧🌏

Looks brilliant, though I do enjoy a little bit of fabricating
Thanks for the video. Question: Do sheathed lighting cables need to be housed in metal trunking in warehouses?

I never knew there was a drilling template and rexel can't seem to find it does anyone know the part number?
Thanks
Where’d you get the drilling template from guys? Been fitting this for ages and never knew that existed!
Hi Ollie. Happy to hear you've been using our Salamandre Trunking. I'll send you a DM on the marking tool :)
@@MarkWilliams-bo5cm hi, may i have it as well, pls?!
Does the UK have like colourcoded steel pipes?
for example, in Malaysia, we have Orange pipes/trunking for electric, Green pipes/trunking for telephone wires.
We used to paint conduit orange etc - but it was phased out.
@@efixx is that why old micc are all orange?
Drilling template? Where can you buy this?
Is it IP-Fifty-Five? or IP-Five-Five?
In my head it's always IP-Five-Five... but I have muddled myself after thinking of this too long and not sure how I actually say it outloud anymore.
3:09 - Is that Tee-piece IP4X? Seems to have ~3mm holes at the 45° angles.
There is a return lip under the cover of the tee-piece so no route in to the trunking body.
Where can I get that template from?
i bet that kit is expenses

Your drill bits are blunt
System will be even faster when we sharpen them.
