Thank's for making this video, you have no idea how your information helps other's. I'm watching this video at school (community college) You were my teacher today! Thank You.
I appreciate the education.. I only had seen a few of these between Lowe’s and Home Depot .. I will be utilizing some form of conduit on a ceiling lamp project. Wiring from behind basement wall through to the kitchen. I wanted conduit to hide the wires.
You said EMT stand for electrical metal conduit but I think you meant to say EMT stands for electrical metallic tubing which is a type of conduit. Don’t worry we all mess up sometimes. Good video😃
Thank you! Great info. Gave me some ideas on how to fix a whirl=pool tub that is in our house. The electric to it is horrible. Going to use one of your suggested conduit types to fix. Don't know why anyone would give you a thumbs down on this. Thanks Again. - Michael St. Louis-St. Peters, MO 10-5-19
Thank you for the video. I cannot figure out how to connect 1 1/2-inch conduit to 1 inch conduit body using a reducer or a reducer busing. I am wondering if you have an example that you can share.
Best practice is NEVER use POS due cast fittings especially garbage made in India. If you happen to have a die cast set screw fitting tight and move conduit some fitting will often egg shape &/ crack. Seldom use the what you called a tight 90degree fitting especially if using solid wires. Better off using a LB condulets with cover . Must use expansion fitting on all PVC maybe over 10' long where exposed to different temperatures such as outdoors. A 100' run of PVC ran in a 100 degree temperature spread ( O in winter to 100degrres in summer ) will expand or contract 4". In industrial & commercial work most electricians will never use 1)2" EMT but rather a lot stronger 3/4".
What is the best conduit for 3 independent circuits in the same conduit ? Indoor, I will need a jonction box to output one of the 3 circuits. The two others go in the same direction. One will be an indoor outlet the other one will be an outdoor outlet. 2 x 15 amps + 1 x 20 amps or 1 x 15 amps + 2 x 20 amps
Exactly what I was looking for. It has been a long time since I worked with wiring, and there are lots of new fittings/technology. In the way of a constructive comment, I'd suggest that your videos would be well served by working off of an outline, rather than just winging it. You obviously know your material, but the presentation comes across as a little slap-dash and non-comprehensive. Knowing the main points you want to make about each item you discuss would make a big difference. Another technique issue: have your camera person do the zooming as the objects that are pushed at the camera go out of focus. Overall, good video - I'll look for more.
Thanks for the info . Do you have a video on how to run a cable underground from my utility closet(breaker box) to an existing shed About 20 feet from my house .
Good lookin out, fam. I'd love to see how some of these typically fit into an electrical box. IE: a 10 gauge needs a 1 inch conduit, a 14 gauge can do 1/2 inch, etc. A demo on connecting them up.
Can you please show how to connect conduit adapter on the box? Why don’t we make hole in the box and directly attach the pvc conduit. What’s the problem? Thanks
I am trying to hook up a transfer switch for a generator but having problem making a bent to the 6/3 wire to run it to the transfer switch once I have it through the wall. Help, please.
The silver compression connector wasn’t rain tight. That was just a normal compression connector there was no rubber gasket. And rain tights are either blue or black
FYI...National Electrical Code does NOT allow for rigid coupling to be used as a 'from-to' or transition from one type of raceway to another. 300.15 states: "Fittings and connectors shall be used only with the specific wiring methods for which they are designed and listed." Rigid couplings are listed and approved for use on RMC ONLY. There are many U.L. listed fittings for transitioning from one type of raceway/cable to another.
I need to run my non metallic for 200' and longest they come is 100' lengths. How would I tie the two non metallic piece together? Gorilla tape and electric over it? LOL
Never purchase or use die cast electrical fittings made in lack of quality control India. Pure garbage. Have them egg shape & crack. I only use the 90 degree fitting as a last resort. Way better using a LB condulet especially if have a lot of wires. Should mention that you must use an expansion fitting when running lengths of PVC. A few inspectors on my northern climate now want them on PVC that feeds underground to a low mounted meter socket. Cases where after PVC pulled out of female adapters that.wire pulled out of meter terminals.
