Summary

This 61-minute DVD shows how to measure, cut, bend, and install conduit. It describes popular types of conduit, fittings used with Electrical Metal Tubing (EMT) and similar low-voltage conduit, and tools used when working with conduit.

The procedures shown are for conduit used with low-voltage (under 600 volts) applications in substations such as relay control circuits, drive-motor circuits, and 120-volt outlets.
