It's the way I do it with a horizontal run. Full 10 foot sticks

If you cover the first 3' with a strap, and continue on I'll put a second strap on the end
of the first (same) conduit before a coupling, that is two feet from the end.
Then I'll go ten feet from the point of second strap which will be 8' down from the last
coupling which will be for the second conduit and strap the conduit.

Two things it looks good and it also employs a stap ready for the next conduit.

I understand your concept on using couplings to comply with support spacing (even though it goes: connector 3', 5', 10', 10'... 3', connector), but it is not required to be that way...

I'm sorry that I can't perform a conduit run to you liking.
:rolleyes:

It's one extra strap, and it might even be a whole rack worth!

No boss lately has told me how to run exposed or high work and frankly
I can't remember failing any inspection on the same.

But hey maybe some of the Guests might make a name for themselve(s)

You took it wrong. I'd prefer more extra straps... i.e. spaced less than 10' apart.... but when I'm buying them, I can do it my way :grin:

Just to clarify as the OP....

The building is huge skyscrapper.

I'm not cheap. I'm not the owner on this job.

The riser is done. We, the boss, was told by the building to support the risers. The risers are encased in concrete 6'' on each floor and straped and mounted on every floor. We're going back and supporting them independently with strut to the ceililng or floor. It's alot of work and am sure costing ALOT of money.
