When do you use a conduit lock-nut?
Standard Conduit Locknuts are used to secure threaded conduits or connectors with tapered or straight thread to a knock out or unthreaded slip hole. Sizes range from 1/4 inch up to 4 inches.
Do you use EMT or Rigid conduit in restaurant?
It depends upon the construction of the building as to what type of electrical system is used. If the building is of a wood frame then ordinary home wiring system can be used. If the use of steel studs is involved then BX has to be used for the internal wiring. Where the cables come out of the walls to equipment, they have to be mechanically protected with conduit or flexible conduit. If the building is block or brick and the wiring system has to be installed on the surface, the system has to be conduit. If the installation is not engineered and no stipulation as to what type of conduit system has to be used, then go with EMT. EMT systems are labour and material wise cheaper than a threaded rigid system. To make the job look professional you need to hire someone that is good at bending EMT conduit. Ask to see other jobs that the contractor has done before letting out the contract.
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 is the different between steel conduit over plastic conduit?
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.
What do conduit connectors do?
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.
Can a hack saw cut cable conduit and laths?
Yes, used carefully it will cut both.
What is imc pipe?
Intermediate Metal Conduit (IMC) is a steel tubing heavier than EMT but lighter than RMC. It may be threaded.

What reaming method is there available to remove concrete inside a 2 PVC conduit?
It may be easier to simply cut out the section of conduit and replace it.
What is the end of a gun barrel called after the thred is cut?
Threaded
What will be the effect of the threaded portion of conduit is not fully fitted to the coupling?
In the United States, the NEC requires that runs of conduit be continuous and connections be made wrench tight. If done properly this provides added grounding protection to your circuits. If a connection is left loose, that added grounding protection does not exist. There are times when threaded connections simply won't thread completely. This may require that the conduit threads be "run" with a threader to remove whatever is preventing this from happening. With experience you learn what is acceptable or not acceptable. Generally, if the connection is "wrench tight" and is otherwise secure, that is sufficient.

How do you join sealtite and PVC conduit?
To join sealtite and PVC conduit, you can use a threaded adapter to connect the two types of conduit. Make sure to use the appropriate size adapters and follow the manufacturer's instructions for a secure and watertight connection. It's important to ensure that the joined conduit maintains the integrity of the overall electrical system.
What is another name for thin wall conduit?
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.
Do threaded bars fit on threadless forks?
no, but cheese will fit in your mouth if u cut it into bite sized peices.
Which conduit is best - PVC or MS conduit?
For underground conduit runs, PVC is by far the better of the two conduit systems.
