Singles in Metal Conduit.

Mornin' All,

you have singles in conduit. The singles run in a horizontal plane to a B.E.S.A. box at the top of the run, and then run vertically downward for about 4+ metres. The cables have weight, and that weight causes the cables at the very top of the run to apply pressure on the insulation where the cables change direction from horizontal to vertical. What is your favourite method to prevent damage to insulation and comply with 522.8.4 and 522.8.5?

Thanks.

Z.

Conduit reamer or your 8" rough pliers - you'll not make much bonus using a 1/2 round file ?

As mentioned, you shouldn't be exceeding more than 5m of vertical drop in conduit/trunking, noting that conduit tends to be less of a problem as often cables are in frictional contact with the tube wall

For trunking, you'd use pin racks
