Is there a code # that shows you can not attach hooks or metal objects to conduit poles providing power through them. The conduit is set through our customer tables and the associates are wanting to hang items from the conduit with metal hooks on the conduit to display more products. Is this a code violation.

Thanks

Chuck

If the conduit is used as a raceway, no other use is permitted

This Forum is intended to assist professional electricians, inspectors, engineers, and other members of the electrical industry in the performance of their job-related tasks. However, if you are not an electrician or an electrical contractor, then we are not permitted to help you perform your own electrical installation work.


If I have misjudged the situation, if for example this project is related to your work, then send me a Private Message. If you can show me that I am wrong, and that you are a licensed electrician (or at least a licensed apprentice), then I will reopen your post, and offer an apology for the delay and inconvenience.

A reminder to all members, if you see a questionable post, feel free to report it by clicking the

I have reopened the thread because the OP explained that he is in fact a journeyman electrician.
He has an unusual situation and needs opinions.

Just a reminder to everyone though, please be clear on your descriptions in your profiles.
 
The code section is 300.11(C).
Now, what do you do? You have a compliant installation. The inspector approves the installation.
Homeowner or business owner creates a violation. :?

Correct - no longer installer's problem after the inspector has approved it. Most your inspectors are not coming in sometime later to see if things remained in same condition as they were in when it was first inspected either.

Private inspectors, insurance, even OSHA could maybe cite some concerns here - and may not even be based on NEC.
