Xmtrs attached to conduit used as a support only

[Isaiah]

Construction mounted 5 Rosemount pressure transmitters off a 6 foot piece of horizontal 2” rigid galvanized steel conduit that is attached to a platform and handrail…The conduit is about 1 foot above the handrail and 8” back - is it ok to mount them directly to a piece of conduit if NO circuitry is routed within the conduit?

Not a problem. Since it is not being used as a raceway there is no prohibition to mounting equipment to it.

If the conduit contained circuitry it would a violation, correct?

Correct.

I built a geodesic dome out of 3/4 emt. Until you put circuit wires into it, it is just a useful bit of metal.

How did you make the intersections?

How did you make the intersections?

I flattened the ends of the conduit, bent to the appropriateangle, drilled a hole, and just ran a bolt through all the conduits at an intersection.

Would have made fishing wires a pain

I was trying to picture wye-shaped conduit bodies.

I'd actually thought about something like pentagonal or hexagonal plates with the Arlington 'AnyBody' hubs mounded on the side

Arlington | Set-Screw AnyBODY™ Conduit Bodies for EMT or Rigid

Arlington's aluminum AnyBODY™ ships as an LB, but converts to a T, LL, LR, or C by switching the blank plates and threaded flanges to create the style you need.<br /><br />It's easy and convenient; plus, it saves you the hassle, space, and cost of stocking five different conduit bodies. They're...

But in the end, squishing the tubes made more sense

I looked for six-sided WP boxes, but no luck.

Keeping the vaguely electrical related tangent: The product I'd like to be able to buy would be geodesic intersection plates for strut.

Although with cheap water jet cutting services...
