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.

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.
What are the main principles concerning conduit bodies?
Conduit bodies are used to provide pulling access in a run of conduit, to conserve space where a full size bend radius would be impractical, to allow more bends to be made in a section of conduit or to split a conduit path into multiple directions.
Does the Nec allow grounding electrode conductor to be run in conduit that has other conductors in the conduit and what code section?
No, the bare copper grounding conductor can not be in a conduit with other conductors. It can be in conduit by itself to provide mechanical protection for the wire.
