2. Electrical conduit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_conduit

   It only comes in 1/2" & 3/4" trade sizes, whereas FMC is sized 1/2" ~ 4" trade sizes. NEC 360.2 describes it as: "A raceway that is circular in cross section, flexible, metallic and liquidtight without a nonmetallic jacket." Liquidtight flexible nonmetallic conduit (LFNC) refers to several types of flame-resistant non-metallic tubing. Interior ...

3. Electrical wiring in North America - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_wiring_in_North...

   This type of cable is the least expensive for a given size and is appropriate for dry indoor applications. The designation NM XX-Y indicates, respectively, the type of sheathing (in this case, non-metallic), the size of the main conductors, and the total number of circuit conductors (exclusive of the grounding conductor). For example, NM 14-2 ...

4. Knob-and-tube wiring - Wikipedia

   The conduit methods were known to be of better quality, but cost significantly more than K&T. [2] In 1909, flexible armored cable cost about twice as much as K&T, and conduit cost about three times the price of K&T. [6] Knob and tube wiring persisted since it allowed owners to wire a building for electricity at lower cost.

5. Power cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_cable

   Electrical power cables are sometimes installed in raceways, including electrical conduit and cable trays, which may contain one or more conductors. When it is intended to be used inside a building, nonmetallic sheathed building cable (NM-B) consists of two or more wire conductors (plus a grounding conductor) enclosed inside a thermoplastic ...

6. National Electrical Code - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Electrical_Code

   The NEC specifies acceptable numbers of conductors in crowded areas such as inside conduit, referred to as the fill rating. If the accepted fill rating is exceeded, then all the cables in the conduit are derated, lowering their acceptable maximum ambient operating temperature. Derating is necessary because multiple conductors carrying full-load ...

7. Copper tubing - Wikipedia

   In the United States, it usually has yellow or light orange colored printing, common sizes being 1 + 1 ⁄ 4, 1 + 1 ⁄ 2, and 2-inch copper tube size. Types K and L are generally available in both hard drawn straight sections and in rolls of soft anealed tubing, whereas type M and DWV are usually only available in hard drawn straight sections.
