Types of corrosion-resistant Rigid conduit

1. Aluminum
2. Silicon bronze alloy
3. Plastic coated
The rigid metal conduit wiring, the electrician cuts, bends, threads and
reamed conduits before installing them. Cutting rigid conduit is done with a
hacksaw or a pipe cutter.
Sharp edges or burrs at the ends could seriously damage the insulation of
the wire as it is pulled into the conduit. These burrs have to be removed by a
reamer or by a file as per PEC requirements.
Bending conduit is done to produce a desired bend angle on conduit for
installation.
This is done with a hickey or conduit bender. Bends on rigid conduit pipes
should be made so that the pipes are not injured nor the effective internal
diameter reduced.
The illustration in figure 1. show a run of conduit which contains more than
two quarter bends which is against the PEC requirements.

The fewer the bends, the easier it is to fish-in or pull wires into metal
One of the practical ways of determining the radius of a field bend is to

multiply by 5. Diameter which is less than 1 should consider as 1 in determining
the radius of bend. See the illustration below.

Figure 2. Figuring a right angle
Bend on Electrical Metallic Tubing

Suppose the right angle bend is to be made and that the conduit is to have
a rise of 18 above the floor. Assuming that the conduit is in diameter, subtract
5 from the rise of 18 that leaves 13. Hook the bender over the rigid metal
conduit so that the arrow on the bender points to a point 13 inches from the end
of the metal conduit as shown in figure 2. If the size of the conduit is , subtract
6. If the size is 1, subtract 8 from the desired measurements.

Bends in Conduit Installation
In bending a metal conduit, a pipe bender or hickey is commonly used by
electricians.
There are several methods however, that are used in bending in the absence
of hickey, like the one illustrated below.

Tasks (steps) & Key points
Cutting conduits using hacksaw

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 (Figure 5.
below). 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.

There are many different types of

hacksaws, but in general they
consist of a fixed or adjustable
frame with a renewable hacksaw
blade.
1.3
The hacksaws illustrated show

one with a straight handle and
one with a pistol grip handle.
1.4
Hacksaw blades are classified

by length and the number of
teeth per 25 mm cutting edge.
1.5
For cutting conduit pipe,

blades with a pitch of 24 teeth
or 32 teeth per 25 mm of the
cutting edge are
recommended.
1.6
Pipes to be cut must be held steady and

prevented from rotating by holding them in
a suitable vise. This is a self-locking,
hinged pipe vise and is available in a
number of sizes.

The portable folding pipe vise is very practical

as a mobile workplace and is used especially
on building sites.
1.8 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.

1.11 Before you cut any conduit pipes,

make sure you have measured and
marked the correct length exactly.
1.12 Check that the blade is lightly

tightened in the frame and that the
teeth point forward.
1.13 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.
