Learning Objectives:
After reading this Information Sheet, you must be able to:
1. Identify different types of conduits and fittings
2. Determine the usage of conduit and fittings
In this lesson we will identify the different types of conduits and fittings
used in roughing-in activity for single-phase distribution, power, lighting and
auxiliary systems and determine its usage.
Raceway
An enclosed channel of metal or nonmetallic materials designed expressly
for holding wires, cables, or busbars, with additional functions as permitted in
this Code. Raceways include, but are not limited to, rigid metal conduit, rigid
nonmetallic conduit, intermediate metal conduit, liquid tight flexible conduit,
flexible metallic tubing, flexible metal conduit, electrical nonmetallic tubing,
electrical metallic tubing, underfloor raceways, cellular concrete floor raceways,
cellular metal floor raceways, surface raceways, wireways, and busways
Conduits
Conduits pipe is the most common electrical raceways used in all types of
construction. With respect to the type of materials used, conduit may be classified
into:
1. Metallic such as steel pipes, aluminum, etc.
2. Non-metallic such as plastic pipes.
Purposes of Electrical Conduits:
1. To provide a means for the running wires from one point to another.
2. To physically protect the wires.
3. To provide a grounded enclosure.
4. To protect the surroundings against the effect of fault in the wiring.
Types of Fittings
Section 110-3 of the NEC requires all the components to be listed and
labeled, so all listed parts meet certain construction and performance
requirements. However, the Code does not specify the material used for the
fittings, of which there are several. This will be determined by availability, design
considerations or personal preference. If you‟re unsure about how the conditions
will affect the fittings, you can contact a manufacturer with details of your
application, consult a local distributor, or get an engineering recommendation.
Conduit fittings can be listed as follows, based on the function they serve and how
they are installed:
1. Conduit Bodies.
A conduit body can be used to provide pulling access in a run of
conduit, to allow more bends to be made in a particular section of conduit,
to conserve space where a full size bend radius would be impractical or
impossible, or to split a conduit path into multiple directions. Conductors
may not be spliced inside a conduit body, unless it is specifically listed for
such use. Conduit bodies differ from junction boxes in that they are not
required to be individually supported, which can make them very useful in
certain practical applications. Conduit bodies are commonly referred to as
condulets, a term trademarked by Cooper Crouse-Hinds Company, a
division of Cooper Industries.
b. T-shaped bodies ("Tees") feature an inlet in line with the access cover and
outlets to both the cover's left and right.
c. C-shaped bodies ("Cees") have identical openings above and below the
access cover, and are used to pull conductors in a straight runs as they
make no turn between inlet and outlet.
3. Elbow is the bent section of the conduit or tubing used to change raceway
direction or bypass obstruction.
8. Strap and Clamps. Electrical materials used to hold and anchor electrical
conduits in its proper position.
Electrical installation for conduits and fittings required to follow the PEC
provision. And try your knowledge by answering the self-check 1.1-1. And
compare your answer to Answer key 1.1-1.

Learning Objective:
In the previous lesson, you have already identified the different types of
conduit and fittings used in wire ways and wire tray. In this session, we will
discuss the terminology used in pipe bending, compute take up for stubs and
determine the bending types.
Bending
Back-To-Back: Two ninety degree bends in one conduit, usually with both stubs
turned up on the same plane forming a “U”.
Hand Benders: Benders having a full shoe that the pipe is formed around. Used
for hand bending EMT, IMC, and Rigid pipe.
Gain: The amount of pipe gained (saved) by bending on a radius and not at right
angles.
Ninety Degree Bend: Any radius bend in a conduit that changes the direction of
the pipe ninety degrees.
Reference Point: A mark used to locate the edge of an obstruction for bending
saddles.
Shrink: The amount a conduit reduces in total length after an offset is bent.
Stub: The shortest part of a ninety degree bend.
Take-Up: The amounts that must be subtracted from the desired stub length of a
ninety degree bend to ensure that the bend is accurate.
½” EMT 5”
¾” EMT- ½” Rigid 6”
1” EMT- ¾” Rigid 8”
To bend a ninety degree bend, you first determine your desired stub height. Then,
you subtract the take-up for the size pipe that you are bending from the desired
stub height and mark the pipe.
Example: You want to bend a 15” stub using 1/2” EMT. Because the take up for
1/2” EMT is 5”, you will subtract 5” from
Then, using a pull-push rule, measure from the end of the pipe back 10”. Mark
the pipe at 10”.
Being careful to keep the arrow at your mark, put the pipe and bender on the
floor. With your foot, bend the pipe until it is bend ninety degrees. Use a torpedo
level to check for accuracy.
Directions: Use the constant take-up for 1/2”, 3/4”, 1”, and 11/4” EMT to solve the
following questions.
1. If you are bending a 54” stub on a ¾” conduit how far from the end of the
conduit will you put your bending mark?
2. If you put the arrow on the bender 22” from the end of a 1 ¼” conduit, what will
the stub height be?
3. The conduit size is 1”. The arrow mark is at 52”. What will the stub height be?
4. You want to bend a 26 1/2” stub on a 1/2” conduit. Where will you put your
bending mark? For the problems below, fill in the blanks with the correct answer.
You want to bend a 19 5/8” stub. Where will you mark your pipe when it bending:
5. 1/2” EMT?
6. 11/4” EMT?
7. 1” EMT?
You want to bend a 313/4” stub. Where will you mark your pipe when it bending:
8. 3/4” EMT?
9. 1/2” EMT?
10. 11/4” EMT?
1. 48”
2. 33”
3. 60”
4. 211/2”

10. 20 3/4”
Learning Objective:
After reading this information sheet you will be able to:
1. Determine steps and techniques in RSC cutting and bending
2. Perform cutting and bending Rigid steel conduit.
In the previous lesson, you were able to identify the pipe bending
vocabulary used in pipe bending. Also, you were able to calculate take-up
for stubs. This skill is essential for electrical pipe installation.
In this lesson, you will be able to gain the knowledge and skills on
rigid steel conduit bending and cutting for pipe installation. It is a must
that, as a EIM student you the skills and knowledge on installing
conduit/pipes for wireways with the provision oo Philippine Electrical Code
(PEC).
Bends
Rigid steel conduit can also be bent using a hickey or conduit bender. It
follows the same procedure as that in bending electrical metallic tubing.
- The bend must be gradual and equal to a radius 6 times the diameter of the
conduit.
- The hickey should be move downward after applying pressure to it.
- The rigid conduit may be held on a pipe vise instead of stepping on it.
Illustration below shows the movements and position of the hickey in making the
90 – degree bend on a conduit.
3.2 Apply pressure on the handle of the Bender, while one foot is stopping on the
conduit and the other on the bender.
1. Determine the distance of the first bend (from one end of the conduit) and the
throw of the off – set.
3. Insert the hickey just a few centimeters from the end of the conduit and make
the first bend.
4. With the hickey in upside down position, slip the conduit in the jaw of the
hickey and make the second bend to complete the off-set.
In the previous lesson, you were able to determine steps and techniques in
pipe bending. This skills and knowledge is essential in preparing and installing
conduits/pipes.
In this session, you will be able to perform pipe cutting and reaming. Which
is essential in installing electrical raceway?
When cutting any conduit with a hacksaw, use a blade with 18 to 32 teeth
per inch. A blade with fewer teeth hangs up, binds, or even breaks. Put the blade
in the hacksaw frame (with the teeth pointing forward) so that the teeth cut when
you push the saw forward. Place the pipe in the vise so that there is ample room
between the vise and the cut.
The conduit is cut with a hacksaw or pipe cutter. For easy and safe way of
cutting, a bench vise is recommended so that the pipe can be held firmly while it is
being cut.
1. A hacksaw is the most important cutting tool for sawing metal to size.
2. There are many different types of hacksaws, but in general they consist of a
fixed or adjustable frame with a renewable hacksaw blade.
3. The hacksaws illustrated show one with a straight handle and one with a
pistol grip handle.
4. Hacksaw blades are classified by length and the number of teeth per 25 mm
cutting edge.
5. For cutting conduit pipe, blades with a pitch of 24 teeth or 32 teeth per 25
mm of the cutting edge are recommended.
7. The portable folding pipe vise is very practical as a mobile workplace and
is used especially on building sites.
8. Chain pipe vises are made to hold pipes with an outside diameter of up to 8"
or 200 mm. They are mounted on solid benches.
9. Open the vise and insert the pipe so it is horizontal and parallel to the jaw
serrations.
11. Before you cut any conduit pipes, make sure you have measured and marked
the correct length exactly
12. Check that the blade is lightly tightened in the frame and that the teeth point
forward.
13. Take up the hacksaw and position yourself as shown here, with yourself
shoulder pointing in the direction you intend to cut. Note the position of the feet,
which allows free and controlled movement of the body when cutting.
15. This will prevent the blade of the hacksaw being damaged.
Threads
Since rigid metal conduit is commonly used in wet places, sealing of termination
can be best done if the pipe is threaded. These will prevent water from entering the
conduit. The use of dies and dies stock keep the end of the pipe threaded. The
sizes of dies stock ranges from ½ to 6 inches.
A flexible conduit consists of flexible steel tube which is made from convex
to concave metal strip in a spiral winding with length from 50 to 200 feet.
Flexible metallic conduit should be supported with a distance of 136cm or
closer. Every turn should be done carefully to avoid deformity. Straps or clamps
can be used to secure the conduit.
Electrical boxes- boxes such as utility, square and octagonal are used for the
installation of electrical wiring fixtures such as switches, receptacles, and for
making electrical termination.

Learning objective:
Electrical Supplies and Materials are those things where were used or
consumed in electrical jobs which become part of the project. The following are the
supplies and materials which are commonly used in electrical jobs:
1. Convenience outlet. A device that acts as a convenient source of electrical
energy for current consuming
appliances. It is where the male plug of an
appliance is inserted and usually fastened on
the wall or connected in an extension cord. It
maybe single, duplex, triplex or multiplex
and could be surface type or flush type.
2. Plug. A device inserted to a
convenience outlet to conduct electric
current. A flat cord is attached to it on
one end and the other end is
connected to a current consuming
instrument or appliance.
These materials are essential in electrical wiring thus, it must be used with
utmost care so that this can serve their intended purpose. Proper used of these
material can make it last longer.
