I take it those are not electric pipes-- bends look too sharp

you can't be serious?

right on. All I mostly deal with at my full time job is 18-3 and 18-2 control wiring. And after wiring houses for a few years and pulling big conductors in commercial buldings for another few years I prefer control wiring. It's still nice once in a while to work in a house or bend some EMT. One thing I don't miss though is working with MC cable.

i still like to build a nice pipe rack. but i love doing control work. its such a good feeling on startup day when youve got plumbers and mechanics and everybody else running around like theyre crazy, and you can sit back and say yep my stuff works:smile:. as for working in a house you can have it man, imo romex is good to tie down ladders.

Actually romex is good for more than tying down ladders. You can wire stuff with it too.

My green is showing, but: That's pretty neat, I've never once seen a vertical hanging rack. Hard to tell, would there be any savings as far as time and labor? Once the pipe is installed, how sturdy is it compared to a rack hanging from some pieces of all-thread?

I did it on a commercial job. I had to hang four 3/4" EMT's along the very-crowded underside of a catwalk, where it would be enclosed in drywall.

I used a piece of all-thread horizontally off the bottom of the strut to prevent swinging. I don't believe hanging like a pendulum qualifies as secured.

I am very glad your not an inspector in my area.

That is some fine looking work. I did notice that your color code was unusual. Red, black , blue... hadn't seen that before.

Ccould it be spaces 1 & 2 aren't used? I doubt it true, but my eyes aren't that good....

Dont get me wrong but you really have to charge a good amount of money to get that kind of result. If I took that long on a job most of my old Bosses would have put their boots up my butt. With that said I wonder if using a trough, some cable trays and some pipe would have expediated this work a bit.

Yeah.
I always thought of how much smoke all that romex could produce. Their had to be a better way to do that job than wallpaper that room with that stuff.

IMO, it was done the best way.

I really would not worry about the smoke either, once everything else catches on fire, you wont be able to tell the NM smoke from the other smoke in the house.

 

[peter d]

I never think of all the smoke that romex could produce. However, I do think about the contents that building furnishings could produce, and they are a much bigger danger than romex will ever be.

Yeah, you can actually. The #12 smoke is yellow, the #14 smoke is white, the #10 smoke is orange....
