That looks good - as a background as a sparks I would have just used 20mm galv conduit - is that stuff easier to install? Obvs galv conduit is a c*nt

Very easy to use, 12mm Diameter only. 
Fir a nice clean but free cut, I use a standard 15mm copper pipe cutter.. nice and neat with no jagged edges

An EOL circuit is 2 wires, these have been twisted together to make pair of cables

 

I'd use a drill, with a hook in the chuck

 

The pic is not my work but that of @PSE

 

mine look better with the lid on

My cabling also looks like a F-ing masterpiece when the ceiling tiles are back in

Nice... What's the prices like on that gear? Had to do a whole job (sparky) in stainless steel conduit before... Nearly died in the process lol

Drill with a hook to twist the cables--like that... Your not taking the piss are you?

You have fitted some alarms with someone yet?

[PSE]

Never used a hook in the drill myself, I just use a specific Bosch mini 12v drill and bang the pair straight into the chuck. Literally 5 seconds on reverse spin and it’s done, nice neat pairs all looking identical and even twists.

Same bend the ends over for a better grip then trim to size. 

 

Also worked really well with ceiling grid wire, used to get rolls from the skips and do metres at a time and cut to length for fish wires.
