BRIEF INTRODUCTION
An Electrical Metallic Tubing conduit is a thin walled conduit that is constructed to be
bend with hand benders. This type of wiring installation is designed to lessen or eliminate fire
hazard and electrical accident. The following rules and regulations on the use of electrical
metallic tubing should be observed:

PEC PROVISION ON ELECTRICAL METALLIC TUBING

A rigid metal conduit is a type of wiring installation which is

designed to lessen or eliminate fire hazard and electrical accident.

The following rules and regulations on the use of electrical metallic tubing should be observed:

A. Application. Electrical metallic tubing may be used for exposed and concealed work at the
same condition with rigid metal conduit. EMT protected with enamel should not be used on the
following conditions:

a. subjected to mechanical during or after the construction

b. Cinder fill

c. hazardous location

d. exposure to corrosive fumes and vapor.

B. Sizes. Electrical metallic tubing has smooth surface inside diameter. Its standard length
follows the gas pipe which is 10 ft. and a diameter from ½ inch, ¾ inch up to 6 inches.
C. Location of some corrosive fumes and vapor

a. meat packing plant

b. tanneries

c. salt storage plant

D. Under wet location. Electrical metallic tubing can be used provided the water is prevented in
entering the conduit. The support, straps and other fitting must be approved for the purpose.

E. Number of conductors in tubing. The number of conductors for every single run of EMT
should follow the given table.

B.TYPES OF BENDS
The PEC requires a maximum of four adapter bends for every one run of tubing

. • ELBOW BEND • OFFSET BEND • SADDLE BEND

C. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

• GOGGLES • GLOVES • HARD HAT • SAFETY SHOE

Analyses:
Write the correct procedure on how to make elbow bend. Write the number on the space
provided.

_____. Have your teacher check your work.

_____. Draw right angle bend on the floor using a try square.
_____. Draw an arc near the corner.
_____. Mark off the center of the location of the bend to be made.
_____. Insert the EMT into the hickey where the center of the bend is to be made.
_____. Bend the EMT gradually to form a 90° bend. Check the desired shape by placing
the EMT on the layout which can be seen on step 3.
_____. Remove the hickey on the right angle bend EMT.
_____. Observe good housekeeping after performing the job.
_____. Prepare the necessary tools, materials, and equipment.
_____. Wear appropriate PPE
