Conduit support.

[martinpdq]

I have looked in ART. 358, EMT. Also in ART. 300 wiring methods. I am looking for the ART. and referance # that states wether you can or can not use one raceway(conduit) to support another. I want to say you can't. But I am not seeing it in the NEC.

Thank you.

Take a look at 300.11(B)

I'm guessing 3/4 EMT would be listed for one more EMT Raceway.
Martin now you have to find the UL listings.

You can't support EMT with EMT.. You could put up two racks, one under another to run on. Caddy also makes something to hang two conduits under each other.

You can't support EMT with EMT..

Actually, you can, as long as the EMT you're supporting off of is not used as a raceway; only used as strut.

Augie presented the section number [300.11(B)] that states a raceway is not permitted to support a raceway, except for the 3 conditions.

I'm with Marc on this one.

I don't believe EMT is a raceway, if, in fact, it was installed in such a manner as to not be a raceway, but rather a supporting piece of tubular metal.

EMT as a means of support thread located here.

Thanks for your input. 300.11(B)(1)(2)(3). I read that to say what Pierre had said.

Thank you for your input everyone.
