Hi all. I haven't posted in a while; I'm glad to see all the usual knowledgable posters are still alive and kicking!
I have a brief question regarding installing receptacles in a drop ceiling of a commerical building. I have about 7 boxes to put in, each containing two duplex receptacles, which will be flush mounted in standard 2'x4' ceiling tiles. All runs will be made in 1/2 EMT strapped to the joists above the suspended ceiling. What is the best way to install the boxes? I was thinking about using 1900 boxes suspended by all-thread hanging from Uni-strut mounted to the joists. My colleagues think this is overkill since I am using EMT; I could probably use tie-wire and hang them from the joists, but I know that EMT cannot be a means of securing a junction box. I'm sure some of you do this kind of job all the time; thoughts?
