Stop, I can only get so erect.

Looks pretty, but is actually lazy AF if you look at the detail (EG. open ends at box) No future use planning, no fire restraint hardware,,,
Terrillion
All that work and then the fucking pipes don't go into the fusebox! Not only is that a violation, it's a problem with pulling new wires!
BreakTheCircle
I didn’t even notice that, that’s just shoddy work there.
paulus1978
Also no fire rated fixings to stop cable droop & no spare capacity. My bet is a plumber did this, because no sparky would miss these things.

Door controls installers, those guys are the roughest mofos this side of a ducter.
timmy26
What a waste of corrugated. Should’ve either used rigid or just put a cable tray in instead
xxJohnxx77
Likely going to get plastered over though. Most under-plaster applications use flex conduit (at least in central Europe)
timmy26
As in plasterboard? Well that makes even less sense.. why wouldn’t they just leave the cable bare, clipped to the wall?

Electric Art. Sweet
angelfixer
Definitely a work of art. Sculpture!
ThDubya
Better than Electronic Arts, for sure.
karilius
Well this project is finished so, yeah much better
AJ2071
What's with those two cables twisted together tho?
iamjackscompletelackofcompassion
this is definitely not US code
Rauca
Cardboard door not up to code though ?
iancarry
this is porn!
thespecialone1
A plumber would have work like that not an électrician.

Why PVC?
xxJohnxx77
It‘s the European standard for under-plaster applications(and most above surface installations using solid conduit too).
CyanideBreathMint
Til. Thanks. EMT and cable ways are what I'm used to seeing where I am.

this is a work of art! May I print, frame it, and hang it in my bedroom?
slodengo
as swiss electrician who works a lot with those, i hope the inner pipe with the smallest bend has no thick cable to pull trough.
GerardEngelage
In Belgium we can buy the pipes with the cables already inserted (for normal configurations). Was strange for me as an immigrant.

Madonna looks great!
THEYARDGOAT
Its all carflex, as an electrician not impressed
xxJohnxx77
Likely going to be plastered over. If not, I would have expected them to use solid conduits as well.
Itsgotwhatplantscrave
I just worked with some electricians who couldn’t even make that shit look good
rigello
What would impress you? Steel?
THEYARDGOAT
Yes emt or ridgid would be very impressive
britishkid
Nothing less than platinum...
duckballz
As an electrician that is absolutely ridiculous. Why not just cable tray it and dress the cables neatly?
skincancerisfun
They quoted high, and needed to pad the time so the client didn't get angry.
diefotze
Hourly job, not quoted
MrMeatPants
I think they intend to plaster over it maybe. I Think its a European way of doing things. Not sure though!
ExTechOp
#4 Lowest row looks to be two 3-phase breakers and a 3-phase GFCI, so Europe seems likely. US residential wiring is usually single-phase.
Kithkinlord
There is no way this is for residential, why use contactors in a residential application but I do suspect non north american install
xxJohnxx77
I believe so as well. Usually flex conduit is used if it is going to get plastered over. If not, rigid conduit would be the way to go.
WhatzitTooya
Thats pretty much on point. Once done the enclosure will be flush to the wall, you wont see the conduit ever again.
Mercenarity
Last electrician that worked on my place just wadded the cables up into a ball and stapled them onto the outside wall.
SpecialAgentPinkfinger
Are you sure you're not confusing electrician and low volt communication guy?
Boudreaux504
Hey now! There's NO voltage in fiber optics. I can't believe you'd lump us in with the other guys.
SpecialAgentPinkfinger
Well I definitely said low volt so I'm obviously not lumping you in with cox "throw the cable on the dirt basement floor" installer =P
Boudreaux504
Yea, well we do all the other stuff (messy), but we avoid voltage. I wanted to keep the facts straight.
FlyingButtPliers
Why that's silly. Haven't they ever heard of drilling straight through the floorboards and carpet like my local electricians seem to do?
Ghlargh
Guessing here: a permanent wall/ceiling is going up over the cables, they want the tubes to be able to pull through future cables.
sVAMP
Then the piping should be terminated inside the breaker box. Seems to me they stopped short, WHY?!
xxJohnxx77
I wonder that as well. Seems bit shoddy.
Churchofthesubgenius
Most of the wiring is already connected to the switches on the right, the internet line is on the left
xxJohnxx77
Yeah, but this likely will be plastered over, so you will have plaster dripping into the cabinet. That‘s why conduit terminate inside the ½
DeKetsendeRechter
Why is it even flex to begin with?! That should have been solid piping.
xxJohnxx77
It‘s likely going to be plastered over though.
DeKetsendeRechter
That's even weirder. You saw slots in the walls for singular pipes to route through, then plaster over with minimal amounts of plaster.>
DeKetsendeRechter
This many cables should just go on cable gutter and railing. Besides, it looks like a technical room.
xxJohnxx77
Technical room or not, this is likely going to get plastered. Likely the plaster will cause the electrical box to be flush to the new wall.
xxJohnxx77
Buildings are built different here. Most walls are brick/concrete and have a layer of plaster on them. Either cable runs are directly in (1)
xxJohnxx77
the concrete or are placed in groves carved into the bricks. Plaster goes onto it afterwards. (2)
