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.
Conduit is just a medium to get the wires from one place to another. There is no voltage restrictions in low voltage wiring (750 volts or less). When it comes to conduit fill, electricians are governed by the electrical code conduit fill tables. The conduit is sized to accommodate the conductor size for a specific load.
Steel conduit weighs more, provides more protection, and costs more than plastic conduit. Plastic conduit weighs less, is easier to work with, and costs less than steel 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.
A conduit connecter is a connecting piece used to connect two individual conduit units together. Conduit connecters can refer to both electrical conduits and pipe/plumbing related conduits.
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.
When exist a junction box EMT, conduit must be supported within 18 inches.
Another name for thin wall conduit is EMT and stands for Electrical Metallic Tubing. The term thin wall is used to differentiate between two conduit systems, thin wall and rigid conduit systems.
Well I don't think there is going to be another Conduit 3 but I am hopeful for 2015 at least.
I always put the first EMT clip/strap 1 foot or 12 inches away from the junction box, then every 5 feet or so after that.
Another name for thin wall conduit is EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing). It is a type of conduit made of steel that is commonly used for protecting and routing electrical wiring in commercial and industrial construction.

No, each conduit should only contain wires from the same circuit. Mixing circuits in a conduit can lead to interference and safety hazards. It is always best practice to keep conductors of the same circuit together to prevent potential issues.
For underground conduit runs, PVC is by far the better of the two conduit systems.
