How do you measure electrical conduit size?
Calculate the total diameter of the wires to determine the diameter of the conduit when placing wires of different gauge and type inside the conduit. Find the wire diameter in table 5 for each gauge wire and type. Multiply the number of wires for each gauge and type by the wire diameter. Total the results.
What is the difference between white and GREY PVC pipe?
Grey PVC is used as electrical conduit and is better suited for sunlight resistance. The fittings for this type of pipe are made to pull wires into and not intended for containing pressured fluids. White is for plumbing applications. Both use the same solvents and glues.
Is PVC conduit measured ID or OD?
