Ok, I know that horizontal feeders can be supported using individual supports or trapeze with threaded rod. If feeders are runs in a shaft vertically how are they supported? Thanks.
Oh, sorry I meant the supporting of conduits. You can't run riser feeders bare, correct?

How are these installed? I went over the catalog pages. These look like they are designed to sit inside of the conduit at the upper termination. Which makes sense. They could be installed after the conduit and wire are in place.
A relatively dumb question - I'm not familiar with the installation practices:

The question: If used in the middle of a conduit verticle run, are they installed in a j-box as the wire is pulled in? Or maybe not used in the middle of a verticle run.
Well not to jump on in but we used feeder plugs on risers .
But we have also used the kellems on risers in big boxes pull boxes they go on after but we use the pig blanket type which rap around conductors and you use the metal strip that comes with it to attach around conductors pull it tight your done .
It can drop into conduit before you snogg it up !Push it down pipe pull its done !
Has anyone heard of "chock bushing". I have heard this term used in regards to cable supports.
So where are these installed in the vertical runs. Within a pullbox?
Second relatively dumb question:
What is a "riser"'
Interestingly, "riser' is not a term that comes up in my line of work.
From this site, I've seen three different uses.
"Riser" is a vertical run of conduit/conductors. It's often associated with the service vertical conduit. This seems reasonable - I got it
"Riser Diagram" shows vertical and horizontal conduit/raceway/conductor routing between the equipment. Maybe slang, but I still got it.
"Riser Diagram" used as a descriptor for a conduit/raceway/conductor routing diagram between equipment that attempts to describe how the equipment is functionally connected. This one baffles me a bit. One would normally use a "one-line diagram" for this.
Are these correct deffinitions?
I'm not kidding, this term just does not come up.
