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.

What size conduit do you need to install a 4 wire?
For a 4-wire setup including three phase conductors and one ground conductor, a common choice is to use a 1-inch conduit to ensure proper spacing and easy installation. However, it's always advisable to consult local electrical codes and regulations to determine the appropriate conduit size for your specific application.
What is the definition of electrical capacity?

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 conduit do you need to install a 0000 wire?
For a 0000 (4/0) wire, you would typically need a 2-inch conduit based on standard industry guidelines for safe and efficient wire installation. Always consult local electrical codes to ensure compliance with regulations in your area.

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.
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.
What size pipe for awg 4?
A 4 AWG wire diameter is about 0.2043 inches. For this wire size, a pipe with a diameter of at least 0.5 inches (1/2 inch) would be suitable to provide ample space for the wire to pass through without being compressed or damaged.

The Unit - 2006 The Conduit 4-4 is rated/received certificates of: USA:TV-14 (LV)
What conduit would you recommend for use inside the walls of a single family residence that would have to accommodate four 15 amp rated wires?
I would recommend using a 1/2 inch PVC conduit for the four 15 amp rated wires in a single-family residence. This size should provide ample space for the wires without creating significant installation challenges in typical residential wall cavities.
