How do you connect metal conduit pipes?

Published in Electrical Conduit 1 min read

To connect metal conduit pipes, you typically use a coupling, sliding it over one pipe and then threading the other pipe into the coupling until it's tightly secured.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

  1. Preparation: Ensure the ends of the conduit are clean and free of burrs. This allows for a smooth and secure connection.
  2. Coupling Placement: Slide a conduit coupling onto one of the conduit pipes you intend to join.
  3. Joining: Thread the second conduit pipe into the coupling.
  4. Tightening: Tighten the coupling by threading both conduit sections until they are firmly secured. You can perform a pull-out test to ensure the connection's integrity.
