The installation methods of EMT (Electrical Metal Tube) conduits mainly include the following:
1、 Direct installation
Installation of accessories and couplings: EMT conduits are typically equipped with accessories and couplings that are fully protected by compression type fasteners or fixing screws. These accessories and couplings are used to connect conduit sections and ensure the stability and electrical continuity of the connection.
Linear segment connection: On the linear segment, the EMT catheter can be directly inserted into the corresponding accessory and fixed with fasteners or screws.
2、 Bending installation
Using a pipe bending machine: Since EMT pipes can be rigid, they can also be easily bent using a pipe bending machine. Therefore, in situations where bending installation is required, a pipe bending machine can be used to shape EMT pipes.
Manual bending: Although not recommended, in some cases, the EMT conduit can also be manually bent, but care should be taken not to excessively bend or cause damage to the catheter.
3、 Wire installation
Preparation before threading: Before threading, it is necessary to ensure that the inside of the EMT catheter is clean and free of debris, and check whether the connection of the catheter is secure.
Wiring operation: Thread wires or cables through EMT conduits and secure them with appropriate accessories at each connection point to ensure that they do not move or be damaged inside the conduit.
4、 Fixed installation
Bracket installation: During the installation of EMT conduits, brackets are required to secure the conduits. The bracket can be installed on walls, ceilings, or other structures to ensure the stability and safety of the conduit.
Fixing method: The bracket can be fixed to the EMT conduit using fasteners, screws, or other appropriate fixing devices. When fixing, it is necessary to ensure that the connection between the bracket and the conduit is firm and reliable.
5、 Special installation
Waterproof installation: In situations where waterproofing is required, special waterproof accessories can be used to assemble EMT conduits to ensure the sealing of the conduit system.
Fireproof installation: In situations where fire prevention is required, EMT conduits and fittings with fire-resistant properties can be selected for installation.
In summary, the installation methods of EMT conduits include direct installation, bending installation, threading installation, fixed installation, and special installation. During the installation process, it is necessary to choose the appropriate installation method and accessories according to the actual situation, and follow the relevant installation standards and specifications for operation. At the same time, attention should be paid to safety and stability issues to ensure the normal operation and service life of the EMT catheter system.
