Material list for the job
Add each conduit run. The list adds them up: sticks, couplings, connectors, straps at code spacing and feet of wire for each size and color.
What the list assumes
- Sticks are 10 ft, rounded up for each run.
- EMT takes a coupling at every joint and a connector at each box. Bends are made with a bender unless you pick factory elbows.
- PVC sticks come belled on one end, so straight joints need no coupling. Each factory elbow takes one coupling, and each box end a male terminal adapter.
- Rigid and IMC sticks come with one coupling on them. Each box end gets a locknut and bushing.
- Flex and liquidtight are counted in feet, with the waste added.
- Straps follow the support rules: within 3 ft of each box and every 10 ft for EMT, rigid and IMC; PVC by size (Table 352.30); flex every 4-1/2 ft and within 12 in.
- Wire is the run length plus what you leave at each box, for each conductor, plus the waste.
- More than 360° of bends between pull points gets a warning (the bend rule).
