Is it legal to support a conduit from another conduit of the same size?

No, the conduit has to be supported individually from a supportive structure. The spacing of the strapping is related to the size of the conduit.

What are the six methods of fix conduit?

The six methods of fixing conduit include: Conduit Hangers - These are brackets or clamps that attach the conduit to walls or ceilings. Straps - These are metal or plastic bands used to secure the conduit at specific intervals. Support Brackets - These provide additional support for heavier conduit runs, ensuring stability. Wall and Ceiling Clips - These are used to fasten the conduit directly to walls or ceilings. Junction Box Mounts - These attach conduit to junction boxes for secure connections. Conduit Fasteners - These include screws, anchors, or other hardware used to hold the conduit in place. These methods ensure that the conduit is securely installed and compliant with electrical codes.


What do conduit connectors do?

When is it permissible to wire tie a wire to a conduit?

What kind of wire? If it's a power wire, why is the place wired with conduit? Commercial buildings must put all power wiring in conduit, so if you're planning to run romex in a commercial building, the answer would be "no", it's not permissible. If it's data wire, note that there may be some "crossover" interference if the data wire follows a power wire for very much distance. It's usually not a problem to cross a conduit and tie to it, but it's generally recommended that you not tie data cable to conduit.

How would you ensure that underground services pipes cables etc will not be damaged by planting or root growth?

The best way would be to use rigid PVC conduit for electrical installations. Glue the joints well so that no water can penetrate. As an additional protection the conduit can be embedded in concrete. If this route is chosen, have at least three inches of concrete surround the conduit. Using cinder building blocks on their side and feeding the conduit through them will stop the conduit from floating to the surface when the concrete is poured. Using a form along side the cinder block's ends will save on concrete. The forms can be stripped when the concrete sets up or can be left in place and just buried.
