Working With EMT and What Electricians Should Know - School Edit

[@zBananaBong]

How awesome lol, I subbed as a pre apprentice and now I am journeyed seeing this upload years later… thanks for all the help, KZbin teachers are the GOATs.

[@damon-burton]

The clear breakdown of EMT uses, installation, and grounding. Essential for electricians to ensure safe, compliant work. Great content.

[@RobertoPuzon]

Hi hello I am electrician here in the Philippines, I am your big fan, I learned a lot from your channel..

he's alive 🧟‍♂

this is a repost so who knows

Two great uses for EMT : Bend a hook to use to turn off buss duct switches. Cut a few inches & unwrap it ( yep not easy ) to form a tool for installing steel wire to secure luminares that are in drop ceilings. Another use : cut washers out of milk jugs then I set a short sheet rock screw and use it as a blow gun. Years ago cut ten for lengths of 1/2" EMT in thirds ( 40" ) flatten ends and drilled 1/4" holes then made a geometry dome for my sons science room. Very strong !

[@jasona7891]

Technically u can say you can't use emt in a garage where there cars that can crash into the pipe. Or an industrial building where there are forklifts that may crash into the pipe. Subjected to damage is a broad way of describing rules for conduit

[@citrussmoothie1277]

In the new 2023 NEC they're now allowing 6 inch as the maximum trade size conduit

[@denverbraughler3948]

It’s a shame that he is more than one year behind. Permitting up to 6” EMT and IMC should be widely known by 2024.

[@isaiahkaulaity9467]

I'm a plumber and have zero interest in ever doing electrical work, but these videos are super interesting.

[@antonioarin3697]

more like this pls. Talk about tech cables, wires and bx include talking about bx connectors and code stuff too pls :)

[@RobertoPuzon]

I saw your tools specially Klein journeyman series I wish I could have some of tools like that specially pliers, here in the Philippines Klein are so expensive, normal electricians like me cannot afford

[@CrossTimbersSon]

Great video! It seems like electricians who are learning should be given the opportunity to evaluate conduit systems that have stood the test of time. (Or didn’t, like the pictures you shared) When a loose coupling is found it’s easy to infer that the installer was more than likely a “Super Fast” 🦸‍♂️ installer. (Instead of being super-thorough and methodical) Another issue that is often overlooked when designing conduit systems is expansion and contracting of the building or structure we are attaching to.

[@JeepinMaxx]

Thanks for the info! I learned something new to me - didn't know EMT could be used as a grounding conductor

[@aaperry1]

Absolutely - just make sure that there are no concentric knockouts remaining when attaching to an enclosure. For example, if you're coming out of a load center which has 3/4 inch with optional 1/2" KO's (and you're using 1/2" EMT,) then use 3/4 inch to 1/2" reducer washers. The locknut needs to be gripping grounded metal in its entirety.

[@landerselectric]

Great job! Love how you break down all of the different types of uses and means and methods. Really appreciate your channel!

[@RobertoPuzon]

Thank u god bless

[@sk8boardsparky]

Do PVC coated rigid next.

[@swo8on]

Some sparks call it pipe and real tryhards (old timers) call it conduit. It’s actual name (EMT) Electrical metallic TUBING But nobody calls it tube

[@tony39572]

EMT can also be used for sleeving.

[@Beast12369]

i live in chicago and have literally never touched a piece of romex ever lol

[@sovekypn]

Great video! especially in covering the code requirements which can be a little tricky for new electricians. I appreciate the time you take to put into these videos they help a lot but man the transition music you used this time has got to go. That ain't it lol

[@reginabivona1282]

nicely done on this episode!!!!! thanks for sharing.

[@denverbraughler3948]

Did you read 2023 NEC §358.20?

[@kayn70]

Thanks for this video!

[@jeronimohv]

Thanks man!

[@stevenholmes3589]

Are you just this well versed in the NEC, or do you have to research the topic at hand?

[@--JohnDoe]

Question - What is the longest length i can run emt between two boxes without a support? 18", 24", 36" ???

[@themaddendynasty5099]

According to code 24”. Specs may be more stringent.

[@--JohnDoe]

@@themaddendynasty5099 what is the code reference?

[@ShermanT.Potter]

If you use EMT conduit as part of the EGC system, is there a certain minimum size you need to use in relation to breaker amps, like there is for normal grounding conductors? I've never looked, but I assume coupling set screw diameter increases as EMT size increases, so it would be a factor to consider. I'm doing a grain bin electrical system for myself now, could save me a wire. When I did another building with EMT, I ran a seperate EGC in it and bonded it to all metal parts, even though I used set screw couplings, so it was redundant. I'd be worried in an outdoor install if the galvanizing would corrode after 30 years and not be a good connection. Seems better with an outdoor install to just use a separate EGC.

[@drrobert2120]

Excellent!👍👍👍👍👍

[@denverbraughler3948]

He failed to read 2023 NEC §358.20 Size.

[@swo8on]

Some sparks call it pipe and real tryhards (old timers) call it conduit. It’s actual name (EMT) Electrical metallic TUBING But nobody calls it tube Also called stick

[@JohnThomas-lq5qp]

Also called thinwall.

[@victoriasarem710]

Cool

[@ebru6695]

Nice

[@michoelmushinsky922]

The "galvanised" and "aluminium" versions of EMT aren't EMT. They are RMC (rigid metal conduit). EMT is not rated for burial. Galvanized RMC is rated for burial.

[@whiggins101]

What? So article 358.10 is wrong? The manufacturer's statements are wrong? Everybody is wrong?

[@jackhofalot6705]

theyre both acceptable methods.

[@SickShots617]

Yo Mr editor, consider changing your transitions, they are awful on the ears.

[@Bapuji42]

Or just skip them what is this a skate video

[@RobertoPuzon]

Thank u god bless

[@RobertoPuzon]

[@latexroach]

Klein is garbage. He’s just sponsored. Try to get knipex for tools you can pass on to your grandkids.

[@RobertoPuzon]

@@latexroach to tell u d truth still I didn't try knipex that's why I don't know the difference and also in my status of living I cannot afford those kind of tools sir, even Klein or knipex

[@RobertoPuzon]

I am only using china products which I hate the most but I don't have choice, I must earn money to provide my family, thank u sir for your comment and advice, that is why I said to my comment recently that having those tools is my dream

[@RobertoPuzon]

Thank u god bless
