PVC conduit in a corner

[kornbln]

I'm running some 1.25" PVC conduit up a wall in a corner and would like to get the conduit as tight into the corner as possible. What sort of support method could I use to achieve this?

 

[Buck Parrish]

The only thing I can think of is a one hole strap.

metal or plastic strapping.

I would go with the one hole strap, that will get you in tighter then the gap created by the fittings or bell end.

Tie wraps and bubble gum :roll:






Really, 1 hole straps are probably the best/only option I can think of that will allow the conduit to be tight to the corner.

Maybe a 3/4" 2-hole PVC strap spread out and screwed to each wall?

 

[mdshunk]

Maybe?

Maybe?

What if they want to remove it one day ? That would be near impossible once you used the PL glue. Unless you also remove the corner.:grin:

 

[iwire]

Maybe?

I can't say I have never used glue for electrical work.

Same here. I've used hot-melt glue to affix 18-2 lamp cord for under-cabinet lighting.

Is this pvc conduit passing thru into the ceiling?? If it is there may be structural things to think about that may cause you issues tight in the corner.

Nope. It's exterior.

My next question - what method do you all prefer for screwing into stucco?

Stucco on what --block, wood framing, metal framing?

I thought PVC supports had to allow it to expand ?? Perhaps not.

Dennis,

Wood framing... So it's probably stucco, scratch coat, wire mesh, tar paper/vapor barrier. So pretty much just plaster (or whatever it's made out of) is what I have to work with to attach to right?

Use a long screw and catch the framing, esp. if you are in the corner.

yup 352.30

"...... shall be fastened so that movement from thermal expansion or contraction is permitted...."

I'm refering more to the part that wont be in the corner... just wide open stucco area

I would try to find the studs. Stucco won't hold much unless their is wood sheathing behind it.

:smile: In which case I would make sure this pipe can expand and contract:smile:
