Underground Conduit

[Alwayslearningelec]

Have (2) concrete encased duct banks with (8) 5" conduits each. They are only being stubbed out for extension by others at a later date. Distance is about 45' for each run. I'm using spacer but are any other supports needed when turning up? A disconnect switch will be landed over the conduits by others at a later date. BTW it's FRE conduit.

You will need something to hold the conduits in position until the concrete is poured. Strut would work.

At the elbows where they turn up I get but even the horizontal runs? If so I'd think not strut but something less substantial.

Are you using spacers in the trench?

Yes

Are you turning up in rigid? That gets heavy, you’ll want to to drive strut into the ground and the out horizontal strut to strap to
