“Do not under any circumstances attempt to open the door without proper authorization. Failure to comply could result in serious consequences.”
“Hey, just a heads up, it’s super important to not open that door unless you have the right permission. Things could get pretty dicey if you don’t follow the rules.”
3/4 inch EMT Coupling with a one inch clip
I can’t believe it, I’ve seen everything! 😂
No way, there’s always some new crazy discovery happening! 😳 I’ve witnessed some things
Dude, I totally agree 😂
Oh hey, I have some pictures!
It’s pointless to attach a strap to a connector because the conduit still needs to be supported on both sides according to NEC regulations.
Noles’ first error is the COUPLIN
Second error is the absence of code stating strapping within x feet of a connector.
(NEC)
States to keep it within 12 inches of the box
Rick orecki what does that have to do with a coupling?
If you actually read the comment I responded to, you would comprehend
Rick orecki that statement doesn’t address boxes at all
😒
Rick orecki connectors and boxes have completely different designs 🙂
Wow, he really got served!
Rick orecki it’s not 12 inches from a box
Rick orecki the requirement is 30 inches and every 10 feet after
Within 36 inches of a box and every 10 feet.
Rick orecki strange box
Right on the money! Just a box.
Bro, are you okay?
Is that a pipe connector Noles?

Seems like this is something a skilled union worker teaches their apprentice…
Covered in scabs
That sounds great! yup, mmhmmm, I’ll definitely give that a try next time 😂
The strap is also upside down, among other issues.
Are you sure about that?
If you consider the strength to withstand time and possible damage from others, I think it is. They secure the conduit better in that orientation.

That way is like a lever and can support less weight. They should be hung that way.
Those straps can bend open if someone were to hang on them. However, if the screw is at the bottom with a proper fastener, it could hold much better.
It’s definitely true, . You can test it out by trying to pull down on the pipe when it’s installed one way, and then flipping it over to the top and trying again.
I used to be on the team under, but I switched to over… Definitely stronger, as .
Why, ?
Wow, , it’s surprising to find someone else who knows that!
I actually don’t mind it.
I remember having to have this discussion with an apprentice, I did technically say 5ft apart on the clips. 😂
You must enter the city or county code
All he had was a strap that matched the connector, come on guys, let’s give him credit for that
Pretty cool!
The supply house messed up and sent the wrong strap, but the foreman said to figure it out
Equivalent to using a 3/4 fitting on the bell end of 1/2 PVC
Humorous
It doesn’t explicitly prohibit it.
I prefer to use a zip screw to secure the clamp and conduit tightly.

Strap can be placed in any direction
I’ve never witnessed it on a pairing before

It’s completely legal, without a doubt.
This is totally fine. Some people really should get a code book.
Uy Harrelson not everyone needs to immediately refer to the book – sometimes gaining experience in the trade for a few years can change your perspective, and you’ll have confidence in your work without constantly checking the book.
Reat job supporting the actual conduit 🤦🏼♂️
I think it might have been accidentally kicked 😂
Is that Nec or Mmec?
It’s just 3 feet away
Hey, just fyi there isn’t a 3 foot rule for couplings
My eye… my eyes 😂😂
Looks legit…..haha
Perfect tuning 👌🏽
Hey boss, do you have a 3/4 inch one hole for my half inch pipe?
He only had big wall straps that were slightly oversized. Just wrap it around the coupling. Issue fixed, haha
Labels themselves as a CoupStrap
It’s more effective than no strap at all…
Hmm, seems like a one-stop-shop for everything!
3 feet away from the box and only every 10 feet!
No space left 😂
I know… it actually works 😂
In situations where improvisation is necessary
The opposite way around
Looks nice
Using a three-quarter inch strap on a half inch coupling always does the trick
I could debate with the inspector all day that both are officially clamped!!🤣🤣
You can’t believe they used a coupling.. thought I had seen it all
Reat
To be honest, I don’t see the major problem with it.
It’s actually within 3 feet of a coupling…. Interesting…
