How is an electrical conduit installed?
Conduit Installation: 9 Steps Step 1: Mark Conduit Placement: Using a measuring tape, mark the locations where the conduit will be installed, including entry and exit points, bends, junction boxes, and supports. Step 2: Cut and Prepare Conduit: Measure the required length for each conduit section based on your markings. Use a conduit cutter or hacksaw to make clean, straight cuts on the conduit. Step 3: Install Conduit Fittings: Attach the appropriate conduit fittings, such as elbows, couplings, or connectors, to the conduit sections. Step 4: Mount Conduit Supports: Install conduit straps or clamps at regular intervals along the conduit route. Step 5: Assemble the Conduit System: Connect the conduit sections and fittings together, ensuring a snug fit. Apply PVC conduit cement or glue to the inside of the fittings before joining them to ensure a watertight seal. Step 6: Pull Wires: Attach a fish tape or draw wire to the starting point of the conduit system. Carefully feed the fish tape through the conduit, pulling it along the desired path. Use lubrication, if necessary, to ease the wire pulling process. Step 7: Install Conduit Accessories: Install conduit bodies, junction boxes, or other accessories as needed for wire splices, changes in direction, or access points. Step 8: Verify and Secure Connections: Double-check all connections, ensuring they are properly aligned, secure, and free from any gaps or looseness. Step 9: Conduct Final Inspection: Inspect the entire conduit system to ensure it is properly aligned, securely mounted, and meets safety standards. Check for any visible defects, such as misalignments or damaged conduit. That's it.

No. The new electrical code change does not allow any flexible conduit to be used as a ground means.

This grounded bonding conductor is not counted as wire fill when calculating the size of the flexible conduit to use
