Concealed Conduit Electrical Wiring systems are the most popular, aesthetically appealing, and most common type of House Electrical wiring used. As we know conduit wiring is a professional way of wiring a building.Mostly some conduits are used in domestic wiring.Conduit protects wires from external damages like rodents etc, and also it increases the longevity of wire used.
Electrical conduit required in either rigid or flexible forms, a conduit protects the wires and is used in exposed locations (such as along the exterior surface of a wall) as well as in unfinished areas (like basements, crawlspaces, and attics), and in surface-mounted installations outdoors.
Before knowing the installation procedure lets know about some House Electrical Wiring Systems;
The most common electrical conduit is Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT)
CLEAT WIRING
It’s basically a temporary wiring system not used in typical house constructions.
CASING WIRING
It’s an open wiring system where the wires are run through a casing enclosure.
BATTEN WIRING
Batten wires are single or groups of wires are laid over a wooden batten.Open wiring system where the wires are run through casing enclosure.
SURFACE CONDUIT WIRING
PVC or GI conduits are laid on the surface of the wall or ceiling.Also these conduits are attached to the walls with 2 holes strap and base clip at certain regular distances.
The conduit systems are installed for various reasons;-
It provides taps for branch conduit runs.
Connect Conduit Sections
To provide cavities for the creation of splices and taps in conductors
Operates as pull outlets for the conductors that are being installed
Now Lets Us Know About The Procedure To Install Concealed Conduit Wiring System
Electrical conduit for wiring has some advantages in protecting wires and also in running multiple wires to a location.We need to do proper selection of electrical conduit materials, fittings, and installation are important for safe electrical wiring.The range of electrical conduit materials and properties is large also designed both for special applications such as corrosion or moisture resistance and some others important factors.
- STEP 1.Laying of Electrical Conduits in Wall
- STEP 2.Installation of Switch Boards Back Boxes
- STEP 3.Installation of Distribution Boards
Under these steps we need to follow some of the important details which are necessary to install concealed conduit wiring systems.
What is the purpose for installing electrical conduit?
As we are aware that conduit bodies are used for various purposes in the electrical wiring system and the main reason is to offer protection to wiring from both natural and man made elements.It is heat and dust resistant and easy to access.
