A fair number of specs I see do not allow its use, but I doubt it is a code requirement.
1/2" EMT or all EMT?
I have seen specs that call for all conduits to be 3/4", crazy IMO.
Nope. Who told you that? :slaphead:
Welcome to the Forum.
A fair number of specs I see do not allow its use, but I doubt it is a code requirement.
it may be DOB requirement or it is NEC specific.
which specs? where can i see it?
1/2" EMT is allowed and used in NYC but it is not allowed on any city, governmental, institutional project.
when you work on Schools, subways, housing projects, etc. you can't use 1/2" EMT or RMC.
did you apply for work in company that does city projects?
maybe the manager meant EMT for fire alarm.
i was talking about my experiences with EMT bending and i stated that i do mostly residential projects and i did not have any problems with passing inspections while using 1/2" EMT then the response was that how i could use 1/2" EMT since it is not Allowed within NYCity limits. I know that city facilities have more strict rules as to the safety. that's why i think it is DOB requirement to use 3/4" EMT in "large scale" projects. i wonder if there is any code reference.
