What is the diameter size of EMT conduit?
EMT is electrical metallic tubing. In the electrical trade there are nominal sizes expressed as a standard size. To answer your question you must state the conduit size in either electrical terms or in standard size terms to get a conversion size.For example standard size 1/2" EMT has an actual diameter size of 3/4" and the 1/2"EMT connector for the 1/2" EMT conduit needs a 7/8" hole.Likewise with 3/4" EMT the actual outside diameter is 15/16" and the 3/4" EMT connector needs a 1-1/8" hole.
What size conduit do I need for 6 wire. Being hooked up to a spa?
The minimum size you can use is 3/4 conduit. The code allows for a maximum of 4 each # 6 gauge wires in a 3/4 inch pipe. You'll likely be running 3 ea # 6s, two hots and the neutral and a #10 ground wire.
How many wires can you put in a conduit?
Depends on the size of the conduit and the size of the wire.Allowable Conduit Fill CapacitiesSize and Type Of Conduit #14 Wire #12 Wire #10 Wire 1/2" EMT 12 9 5 3/4" EMT 22 16 10 1" EMT 35 26 16 1 1/2" EMT 84 61 38 1/2" PVC 10 7 4 3/4" PVC 18 13 8 1" PVC 32 23 15 1 1/2" PVC 80 58 36
What size conduit for 200 amp service?
50 mm or 2 inch will handle the 3/0 wires for a 200 amp service.
What is the PEC requirements on the number of bends allowed in a conduit run?
4 quarter bend
What size conduit for 400 amp service?
4 inch rigid conduit
What size rigid conduit for 400 amp service?
4 inch rigid conduit
What size conduit do you need to install a 4 wire?
NEC code table C10 has conduit fill charts. google for it. Per the table, 1 1/4" inch conduit can support 7 #4 cables. The 1 inch conduit allegedly can support 4 cables but it will be very tight and I would go for the extra room in a 1.25" conduit.
What size pipe for awg 4?
Conduit is sized by the number of conductors that are being pulled into it. The conduit size of 1/2" will allow one #4 wire to be pulled into it. 3/4" will allow 2 and 1" will allow 4 #4 conductors to be pulled into it.
What is the definition of electrical capacity?
The amount of conductors per conduit size example code says 3 number 4 conductors in a 1'' conduit
What size conduit do you need to install a 0000 wire?
4/0 gauge wire, depending on its insulation type is rated from 230-260 amps. Assuming you are running a new power supply with the 4/0 wire, you will have a minimum or three 4/0 conductors and a ground wire for a single phase power supply and four conductors with ground for a three phase power supply. Three 4/0 wires require a minimum 2 inch conduit. Four 4/0 wires require a minimum 2 and 1/2 inch conduit. These conduit sizes I'm quoting come directly from the NEC, the National Electric Code. These sizes of conduit are determined by the basic rule that all the conductors in a conduit are not to exceed 40% of the volume of the pipe. The other 60% of air space is required for heat dissipation.
How many markings should a rigid nonmetallic conduit have?
There will be at lease three and on some conduits additional information. There will be the manufacture's name, type of material the conduit is manufactured from and the diameter size of the conduit. For example Scepter PVC 100 mm (for American customers 4") conduit.

What size drill bit do you need for a piece of conduit?
Depends on the diameter of the conduit. Try for 1/4" larger diameter drill bit.
Does feeding a sub panel have to be in conduit?
Yes, as long as they are of the same nature (e.g. communication cables; power cables, etc. ) and as long as there is enough space inside the conduit to hold the cables (a table is normally available in cable catalogues showing allowed number of cables in a certain conduit) and cables should be pulled at the same time as much as possible to avoid damages.
