Happy New Year to everyone. I'd thought I'd start the New Year by participating in this forum. I have learned a lot from all the members postings here and I'm grateful.
This might be easy for some of you old hands but as a noobie I've been racking my head as to what's the quickest and cost efficient way to support the following two applications:
1. Commercial installation with a suspended drywall ceiling. What's the best way to support EMT within 3' of a box when we are dropping down to a 4S box that is in between steel joists. The vertical drop of conduit is more than 5 ft and we are coming down with at least two conduits sometimes three. The 4S box is supported by a 512 caddy bracket.
2. Commercial installation with acoustical ceiling. On several occasions we have placed a 4S box just above the metal stud wall to go down to an outlet and to continue to other outlets above wall. I've looked at all hanging and fastening catalogs (caddy, etc. ) to see what's best way to support this box above ceiling. Preferably oriented so that the box would sit on its side if fastened directly on the metal track as opposed to on its back.
Thanks for any input anyone has to offer.
