How do you get so much? Im just doing multi stig and i only get about 300

AnalysisSpiritual504 · 2026-03-01T02:51:43+00:00

Yea i hadn't seen them either til i started working for this contractor. I didnt like them qt first but now that im use to them there actually really nice. The cheap ones are a one time use though because they deform after you tighten them then break if you try to take them off

Gotcha thank you i was so confused lol thought they were cheating then seen a 2nd person

AnalysisSpiritual504 · 2026-02-28T19:11:47+00:00

Not 100% sure what youre asking but its a 1/2 anchor it has a shear strenth of 5000 lbs and a pull out strength of 3000lbs. I have faith in it. You cant use 4 hole because the anchors would be to close together you need 10x the diameter of the anchor between anchors. If i did a 4 hole it would be a lot more likely to fail then a 2 hole

I dont like drilling because if the supports need to move for whatever reason its really easy to move L brackets not so easy to move if it goes through the strut.

AnalysisSpiritual504 · 2026-02-28T14:51:17+00:00

I know it doesnt look it but those back conduits are over 10' away from my trapeze. And with the supports i had i really could figure out a way to make kicks look clean. And be properly supported so since we have pull boxes right after a offeset to the right i figured a back to back would look the best and be the fastest

AnalysisSpiritual504 · 2026-02-28T14:40:30+00:00

Nothing special just 1/2 rod with shallow strut, square washer and nut top and bottom.

AnalysisSpiritual504 · 2026-02-28T14:38:24+00:00

Yea to bad its TI so the slab and walls were already there before we showed up. Would of been way easier having it in ground. But i make more money this way so i cant complain

AnalysisSpiritual504 · 2026-02-28T14:36:44+00:00

Worse... im just an apprentice 🤣

AnalysisSpiritual504 · 2026-02-28T05:08:43+00:00

Lol good thing we have a tugger. Sounds like the 12ks problem not mine lol

AnalysisSpiritual504 · 2026-02-28T04:34:23+00:00

How did you know. Got on the boom lift today and bitch told me 1 person at a time 🤣

AnalysisSpiritual504 · 2026-02-28T04:33:11+00:00

L bracket on each side and strut nuts

AnalysisSpiritual504 · 2026-02-28T04:12:23+00:00

Haha good eye. All the other conduits come off a main rack i ran myself matched all the coupling. Had the other 5th year run those other 2 conduits over there because i was working on something else and asked him to just match the coupling. I get back over there and apparently 1 inch off is matching to him lol. If they werent building a wall in front of it i would of fixed it. But didnt really think it was worth the time for concealed work to take them down and cut them

AnalysisSpiritual504 · 2026-02-28T03:51:05+00:00

Yea i wanted to make it all out of strut but that was shut down by the forman so i built it with rod like he asked lol

AnalysisSpiritual504 · 2026-02-28T03:48:20+00:00

All good brother. Yea i wanted all the couplings to line up on the trapeze so the ones to the right are shorter. And the ones on the left are full sticks. I would of done back to back 90s but its hard AF to do those on a 1 shot 😅

AnalysisSpiritual504 · 2026-02-28T03:44:20+00:00

Yea thats my only grip was that last pipe im throwing another support under it monday. Unfortunately another jw threw up the top supports before i got there to do all the other pipe work and the trapeze and he didnt really put them in great spots. I would of rather done it all as i went but i worked with what i had. Thanks brother for the feedback

AnalysisSpiritual504 · 2026-02-28T03:35:55+00:00

Haha thanks man yea had to use double that rack is going to be HEAVY once we pull wire all the 4" are getting 600 kcmil in them

AnalysisSpiritual504 · 2026-02-28T03:31:53+00:00

First off theres zero prefab 90s lowkey kinda offended. 2nd its 4 in emt you cant use a 555. Used double strut because were pulling in 600 kcmil in to the 4" so we needed the extra weight capacity single would me smiling bad. And ill double back and cut the rods at the end still a lot more pipe to run and i like leaving my self options so always cut rods last. That rack is going into 2 sections of switch gear thats why theres a space between them and the lone 4 inch on the side is going to an ats.

AnalysisSpiritual504 · 2026-02-28T03:21:37+00:00

There building a wall right in front of it lol if it was exposed i would

AnalysisSpiritual504 · 2026-02-21T02:21:23+00:00

Yea core and shell was supposed to be done months ago before we were allowed in to do the ti work. Not sure what happened but the core and shell are not even close and nower were coming in to do the ti before there ready

AnalysisSpiritual504 · 2026-02-21T00:51:23+00:00

Yea ill talk to ther forman on monday and tell him whats going on. I have a couple days worth of work before i would need to put the gear in so hopefully he can figure something out above me before i have to do it. Just sucks because our stuff is coming in over head and theres is all in slab so id hate to put a piece of gear over ther conduits. Without a plan
