Note
1. Be sure to use "rigid metal
conduit", not the lighter grade conduit made for interior wiring. You
can join several lengths with threaded couplers to get your desired height.
If you need to cut an odd length, be sure the cut end is on the bottom of the
mast and that a threaded end is on the top. |
