PARALLEL RUNS

[Alwayslearningelec]

Sorry guys I know I asked this but I was not clear. Why if you have say 4,5,6 parallel runs of 2".3" etc you can reduce the labor. What factors are taken into considerations that lessens the labor? THanks VERY MUCH

Repetitve work is always less labor.....less set up time......and quicker the more you do the same thing over and over

You would be installing a rack for 2 or 6 would be the same labor, just more strut.
You would already be in the position to install one conduit. It doesn't take much more labor to install a second ot third.

You save labor because they share hangers and you work position doesn't change to add more conduits.

Also when you are pulling the wire, you setup once to pull multiple runs.

Most of the labor is saved with setup and common hangers.

It is due to your feet stay in the same place for x# of repetitions, bend information is acquired faster.
a)The men move down the hall way one time installing x# of pipes.
b)The men move down the hall way x# of times installing 1 pipe.
Which a or b will get more work done faster?

So are you saying there is a saving in wire pulling as well?? Thanks.

In the setup only. You still have the labor of pulling and termination.
It depends on how many pulls and the size of the reels and the way you recieve the cuts.
