Everything about House Wiring, Light Fitting Accessories Names, PVC Casing Capping

If you are going to get the light fitting work done, then you should have all the information about all the accessories related to light fitting, like what are the things included in light fitting, what is their name, and what is their price in the market now.

Especially the information about which thing is better for which work. Because most people do not even know what kind of electric board, switch, and wiring are required to run normal work like two or three bulbs, a fan, a cooler, and a fridge. Because different types of work require different quality light fitting accessories,.

Suppose you are running a bulb and a cooler from a board and wire. Whose capacity is only to run a cooler and one bulb? So you cannot run much load with it. If you have to run a higher load, then you will need to get wiring accordingly.

And you must have seen its direct example in your personal daily routine as well. Because at some point in your house too, the plug of the electric switch might have burned or its switch might have gotten damaged. So there is only one reason for this, and that is running more load on that electric board than its capacity. That is why heavy load boards and electric wires are used in the light fittings done in the house. Which continues for years. And it is important for you to know this.

Wire 

The first and most important step in light fitting is to choose a good wire. Because the burden of lighting the entire house rests on the wires. Generally, four or five types of wires are used for light fitting in the house: 1 sq m wire, 1.5 sq m wire, 2.5 sq m wire, and 4 sq m wire.

Types of Wire used in house Wiring:

1 Sq Mm Wire - 1 square mm wire is a normal type of wire that we use to run appliances like fans, LED bulbs, and tube lights in our house. This means that equipment with less load can run easily. You can buy 1 mm of wire from the link given below or from your nearest electric appliance shop.

1.5 Sq Mm Wire - 1.5 mm of wire is slightly better than 1 square mm. So that we can run more heavy-load equipment compared to 1mm wire. Such as a fridge, cooler, washing machine, television, etc. We can run all these with 1mm wire, but there is a greater risk of the equipment getting damaged due to 1mm wire.

 

2.5 Sq Mm Wire - 2.5-mm wire is the wire that is mostly used. So that even small and big appliances used in homes can be operated easily. And nowadays, only 2.5mm wire is used for light fitting. So that we can easily run heavy-load appliances like water heaters, room heaters, and 1 ton of AC with 2.5mm wire. Because with a 2.5mm wire, you can easily run a small bulb to a 1 ton AC. And electricians also mostly recommend this wire.

That is why if you are getting light fitting work done in your house, then you should go with 2.5mm wire only.

4 Sq Mm Wire - 4mm wire is a much heavier wire than 1mm, 1.5 mm, or 2.5mm wire. On which we can run even the heaviest load. But still, it is not used for underground light fittings in the house. Because 4mm wire is used only for the main supply of the house and to run 1 to 2 tons of AC

If you are going to get light fitting work done in your house or are thinking of it, then you should use 100% 2.5 mm wire only. Because if you use poor-quality wire to save a few pesos, you may have to suffer losses in the future. And if you do not get the goods at the right price online, then you must also check the offline market.

2. What is Pvc Pipe/Casing Capping?

Light fitting in the house is done in two ways. First underground light fitting and outside the wall, which does not require cutting the wall. Whereas underground light fitting is done only at the time of roofing the house. In which PVC pipe is fitted inside the wall. Light fittings outside are done with the help of PVC casing capping straps. In which the wires are covered with casing capping.

Pvc Conduit Pipe - PVC conduit pipes are those pipes that are installed at the time of roofing. And they are also used for underground wiring in the wall. In which the wall is cut a few inches and fitted inside the wall. So that later wiring can be done easily through these pipes.

The quality of PVC conduit pipe also varies. where one is a normal pipe and one is a heavy pipe. In which normal pipe is used for light fitting on the wall and heavy pipe is used for molding the roof because normal pipe does not exert much pressure on the wall, hence normal pipes are used in the wall. Whereas on the roof, pipes are inserted inside, on which the pressure of rebar and the pressure of mortar are applied. Due to all these, heavy pipes are used.

Price - Ordinary PVC conduit pipe will be available in the market for Rs 30 to 40 per piece, whereas heavy pipes will be easily available for Rs 60 to 70 per piece.

Note - You should not buy PVC Conduit Pipe online because this product is not available on online shopping sites. And you may incur losses if you make purchases from third-party websites.

3. What is Pvc Casing Caping Wiring?

Casing-capping wiring is one of the oldest methods used in electrical fittings. In which the wire is covered with the help of casing and capping strips without cutting the wall. Casing and coping are two strips in which the casing is fixed to the wall with the help of a screw. And then wires are inserted into it. The capping is then placed over the casing. Actually, if we explain capping in simple words, then capping is nothing but the lid of the casing strip.

Casing-capped wiring is done for a few reasons. The first of which is that someone has an old house and has not had underground light fitting done before. And now, if he wants to get the light fitting done, he is left with only the option of casing wiring.

 

Although the material used in conduit light fitting and casing light fitting is the same, for information, the names of some accessories used in casing capping wire are given below along with their images.

Use of some accessories of Cassing Capping -

• PVC Internal and External Connector: It is used at those places on the wall where there is a corner from where the wires have to be removed or at such a place where the casing strip cannot be fitted straight. But they are used like a bend in which the internal connector is placed in the corner, and then the wires are placed on top of it and covered with the external connector.

• PVC Plastic Grip: A PVC plastic grip is used to hold a nail, an electric board, or any electric appliance firmly in the wall.

• PVC Square Box: A PVC square box is used to hold the bulb holder shroud in the wall. In which any type of holder is stopped in the square box with the help of screws.

 

3. Electric Equipments:

We have already given information about most of the equipment used in electrical fittings. But still, some equipment is left, information about which you can read in detail below.

Modular Switch Board: A modular switch board is used in underground wiring in the house. In which the switch board is fitted in the wall with the help of a modular box.

 

If you want, you can install a switch board in your house as per your needs. Because all types of switch boards are available on the market, from small to large, Such modular boxes are used to fix the switch board to the wall. Which you will get according to the switch board.

Holder & Bulb - Now it depends on you to choose the holder and bulb, and which light fitting should be installed. Because different types of holders and bulbs are available on the market, From cheap to cheap and from expensive to expensive.

Type Of Switch Boards - There are many types of switch boards. Such as modular switch boards, which are fitted inside the wall. Whose picture did you see above? The second switch board is where we have to assemble all the components. That is, we have to bring the switch board box separately, and its components, like the switch, plug, regulator, etc., have to be brought separately and assembled. And the third type of switchboard is prebuilt, in which all the components are already installed.

There are two types of such switch boards, with the first switch being normal. Which is easily available for Rs 100 to 150. The second one is the switch board, which is used in conduit pipe fitting. Because if you are going to get the fitting of casing capping done, then you should go with a modular switch board, which is also good in appearance. And there is no need to assemble such boards because prebuilt modular boards are also available for casing capping or open wire fitting.

 

Note - Choose only high-quality materials for any kind of wiring fitting in your home. And whatever electronic component is not available online, buy it from the offline market only. And be cautious of any third-party website that claims to provide you with electronic components. Because when you buy goods from such websites, there is a high possibility of fraud on your part.
