January 30, 2009, Newsletter Issue #178: Conduit Sizes

Tip of the Week

When designing where and how electrical metal tubing (EMT) conduits should run, you must first determine the size of the EMT. Consider the following when sizing your EMT conduit:
*What kind of environment is the EMT going to be in?
*How much space do you have to run the conduit in?
*How many wires are going to be inside the EMT?
*How wide are these wires?
*Is there a chance more wires will be run in the conduit in the future?
*If so, how much space should you allow for that now?
