GRS Conduit Fill Percentage - Conduit fill shall not exceed the maximum fill specified
in attachment 3, NEC Chapter 9, Table 1 & 4 and Notes to Tables.
Commentary Note:
A2 Because conductor sizes and insulation thickness of IEC and SASO type wires and JERES-P-104
cables vary from those of NEC type wires and cables, actual dimensions (outside
diameters) must be used to calculate conduit fill and maximum number of wires
allowed in conduit, instead of NEC tables.
Conductor Fill Percentages for Conduit Nipple - Conductor fill percentage for a
A3 conduit nipple shall be permitted to be at 60% if the nipple is not longer than 24 JERES-P-104
inches (610mm). (NFPA 70, NEC )

Wire Fill of Sealing Fittings - Wire fill of standard conduit sealing fittings (type EYS or
similar) shall not exceed 25% based on the conduit size (i.e., the ratio of the sum of
the cross-sectional areas of wires and multiconductor cables to the internal cross-
sectional area of a conduit of the same trade size shall not exceed 25%). Larger size
sealing fittings with reducers, or conduit outlet boxes (e.g., Crouse-Hinds GUA
A4 JERES-P-104
series) with appropriate sealing covers may be used in order to utilize the higher
permissible wire fill of the conduit.
