This manual is a guide to the cost of installingelectrical work in buildings. It lists costs to the electri-cal subcontractor for a wide variety of electrical work.
Before using any estimate in this book, youshould understand one important point about esti-mating electrical construction costs. Estimating is anart, not a science. There’s no estimate that fits allwork. The manhour estimates in this book will beaccurate for many jobs, but remember that no twojobs are identical. And no two crews complete alltasks in exactly the same amount of time. That’s whyelectrical cost estimating requires exercising goodjudgment. Every estimate has to be custom-made forthe specific job, crew and contractor. No estimatingreference, computerized cost estimating system orestimating service can take into consideration all thevariables that make each job unique.
This book isn’t meant to replace well-informeddecisions. But when supplemented with an estima-tor’s professional evaluation, the figures in this man-ual will be a good aid in developing a reliable cost ofelectrical systems.
Inside the back cover of thisbook you'll find a software
download certificate. To access the download, followthe instructions printed there. The download includesthe National Estimator, an easy-to-use estimatingprogram with all the cost estimates in this book. Thesoftware will run on PCs using Windows XP, Vista, 7or 8 operating systems. When the National Estimatorprogram has been installed, click Help on the menubar to see a list of topics that will get you up and run-ning. Or, go online to www.costbook.com and click theShowMe tutorial link to view an interactive tutorial forNational Estimator.
Labor CostsThe labor costs listed in this manual will apply to
most jobs where the hourly wage in effect is thesame or similar to the following rates:
Journeyman ElectricianBase Wage........................................$29.90 per hr.
Taxable Fringe Benefits at 5.15%.........$1.54 per hr.
Taxes & Insurance at 19.84%...............$6.24 per hr.
Non-taxable Fringe Benefits at 4.55%...$1.36 per hr.
Total Labor Cost....................................$39.04 per hr.
The total hourly cost includes the basic wage, tax-able fringe benefits (vacation pay), workers’ compen-sation insurance, liability insurance, taxes (state andfederal unemployment, Social Secur i ty and
Medicare), and typical nontaxable fringe benefitssuch as medical insurance.
If your hourly labor cost is much lower or higher,costs of installation can be expected to be proportion-ately lower or higher than the installation costs listedin this book. If your total hourly labor cost is 25 per-cent less, for example, reduce the labor figures in thecost tables by 25 percent to find your local cost.
The Craft@Hrs column shows the recommendedcrew and manhours per unit for installation. Forexample, L2 in the Craft@Hrs column means thatwe recommend a crew of two electricians. L1 meansthat a crew of one electrician is recommended.Costs in the Labor Cost column are the result of mul-tiplying the manhours per unit by the rate of $39.04per hour.
For example, if the Craft@Hrs column [email protected], the Labor Cost column will show $9.76.That’s .250 manhours multiplied by $39.04 per man-hour and rounded to the nearest penny.
Divide the manhours per unit into 8 to find thenumber of units one electrician can install in one 8-hour day: 8 divided by .250 equals 32 units per day.Multiply that amount by the number of crew membersto find the number of units the crew is likely to installin an 8-hour day. For example, if the crew is two elec-tricians, multiply 32 by 2 to find that the crew can beexpected to install 64 units in an 8-hour day.
Some tasks require less labor under certain con-ditions. For example, when conduit is run in groups,less labor is required for each 100 linear feet. It’s theestimator’s responsibility to identify conditions likelyto require more or less labor than the standard forthe type of work being estimated.
This book lists both the labor cost per installedunit and the manhours required for installation.Manhours are listed in hundredths of an hour ratherthan minutes, making it easier to calculate units.
Material CostsMaterial prices in this book are based on actual
costs in late 2013, with projections to mid-2014based on the author’s judgment. Prices are neither“retail” nor “wholesale” costs. Instead, they’re intend-ed to reflect typical costs to electrical contractorswho buy at electrical supply houses in mid-2014.Volume purchases may cost less because manydealers offer quantity discounts to good customers.Expect prices to vary with location, terms demanded,services offered, and competitive conditions.

material retailers – and for good reason. Most elec-trical contractors don’t buy from big box retailers.They buy from specialized electrical material dealerswho offer the selection, service and terms that elec-trical contractors expect. Big box retailers stock limit-ed quantities, no more than a few hundred electricalSKUs, specialize in commodity-grade merchandiseand are generally not set up to meet the needs ofprofessional electrical contractors.
Material costs in this book include normal waste. Ifwaste of materials or breakage is expected to exceed3 to 5 percent of the materials used on the job,include a separate allowance for excessive waste.
Material delivery cost to the job site isn’t includedin this book. When delivery cost is significant andcan be identified, add that cost to these figures.
Please note that the cost of some electrical mate-rials is highly volatile. For example, copper wireprices have been known to fluctuate 10 percent ormore in one month. There’s no reliable way to fore-cast price movements like this. If you’re bidding on aproject that has a quantity of copper products, youmay want to add a qualification to your bid proposalwhich would allow you to pass on a pricing increase(or decrease), based upon the actual materials pric-ing at the time of purchase. This way, you can usethe current price quoted at the time of your bid, but still leave the door open to any major pricing fluctuations.
Add Sales TaxNo state or local sales tax is included in material
prices listed here. Sales tax varies from area to areaand may not be applicable on purchases for sometypes of projects. Add at the appropriate rate whensales tax is charged on materials bought for the job.
Add Overhead and ProfitTo complete the estimate, add your overhead and
expected profit. Many contractors add an additional10 to 15 percent for profit to yield an acceptablereturn on the money invested in the business. But noprofit percentage fits all jobs and all contractors.Profit should be based on the current market in eachuser’s local area.
For some electrical contractors, overhead may addas little as 10 percent to the labor and material cost.But routinely adding 10 percent for overhead is poorestimating practice. Overhead should be based oneach user’s built-in costs. It’s the estimator’s responsi-bility to identify all overhead costs and include them inthe estimate, either as a lump sum or as a percentageof the total labor and material cost.
Other Costs to AddA few other costs are excluded from the figures in
this manual: electrical building permits, special hoist-
ing costs, freight costs not absorbed by the supplier,utility company charges for installation and service,special insurance and bonds, power equipmentother than small tools, mobilization to remote sites,demobilization, nonproductive labor, and nonworkingsupervisors. If these costs are significant and can bedetermined, add them to your estimate. If not, youshould exclude them and specify clearly that they’renot a part of your bid.
All Tables Assume “Good” ConditionsThis means that there are few or no unusual con-
ditions to delay production. Conditions are goodwhen work is performed during usual working hoursin relatively clean surroundings and in readily acces-sible areas not over 12 feet above the finish floor.The temperature is between 50 and 85 degrees F.Electricians are working no more than 8 hours a day,5 days a week.
Good conditions require that all tools and materi-als be available on the job site when needed. Tools,including power tools, are assumed to be in goodworking order. Where power tools are appropriate,it’s assumed that temporary power is provided. Addthe cost of temporary power when it’s furnished atyour expense.
Proper supervision makes a big difference in laborproductivity. The tables assume there is adequatesupervision but make no allowance for nonproductivelabor — supervisors who direct but do no installation.If you plan to have nonproductive supervision on thejob, add that cost to the figures in this manual.
Conditions are seldom “good” when the work areais confined, or when a short construction schedulemakes it necessary for many trades to work at thesame time. The usual result will be stacks of materialobstructing the work space and several tradesmencompeting for access at the point of installation.
If the conditions on the job you’re estimating aren’texpected to be “good,” adjust the labor figures in thisbook as appropriate. Occasionally, larger jobs can bedone faster because specialized equipment or crewscan be used to good advantage. This will usuallyreduce the installation cost. More often, conditions areless than “good.” In that case, labor costs will be higher.
There’s no accepted way to decide how much“bad” conditions will increase the labor hours needed.But it’s accepted estimating practice to assign a costmultiplier of more than 1.0 to a job that can beexpected to require more than the usual amount oflabor per unit installed. For example, if conditions areless than “good” only in minor respects, you mightmultiply labor costs by 1.10. If conditions are verypoor, a multiplier of 1.50 or more may be appropriate.

Other Factors That Affect ProductivityThis book’s tables assume that the crew used for
the job is the smallest crew appropriate for the workat hand. Usually this means that the crew is onejourneyman electrician.
Most experts on the productivity of constructiontrades agree that the smallest crew that can do the jobis usually the most efficient. For example, it’s foolish tohave two men working together setting duplex recep-tacles — one handing tools and material to the otheras needed. Only one of them would be working at anygiven time. It’s more productive to use two one-mancrews, each working independently.
Of course, there are exceptions. Sometimes acrew of one takes twice as long as a crew of two.When pulling feeder cable or setting floor-standingswitchboards or motor control centers, more helpusually cuts the labor cost per installed unit. Somejobs simply can’t be done by a crew of one.
When work is done on a scaffold, someone shouldbe on the ground to chase parts and equipment andprepare lighting fixtures for hanging. It wastes man-power to have an electrician leave the scaffold andreturn when parts or tools are needed. Scaffold
installers should install one fixture while the “grunt”below prepares the next. Conduit should be prefabri-cated on the ground from measurements taken by theelectricians on the scaffold. The assistant shouldbend the conduit and hand it up to the installer.
These labor savings are obvious to anyone who’sdone this type of work, and are assumed in thisbook’s labor tables.
The ElectricianThis book’s labor hours are typical of what a
trained and motivated journeyman electrician with 5years of exper ience will do on most jobs. It’sassumed that the installer can read and follow plansand specifications and has the ability to lay out thework to code.
It shouldn’t make any difference whether the workis in a hospital, a grocery store, a wood mill or asmall convenience store. An experienced journey-man electrician should be able to handle the work atthe rates shown here even though the materials andcode requirements differ. But you’ll have to makeallowances if your installers are only familiar with res-idential work, and the job at hand is something else.

Improving Estimating Accuracy & ProfitsIt’s been said that electrical estimators learn by
making mistakes. The best estimators are the oneswho’ve made the most mistakes. Once you’ve madeevery mistake possible, you’re a real expert.
I can’t subscribe 100 percent to that theory, but Iknow that there are plenty of pitfalls for unsuspectingelectrical estimators. This section is intended to sug-gest ways to spot potential problems before theybecome major losses. It’ll also recommend stepsyou can take to increase the profit on most jobs.
Labor ProductivityImproving output even slightly can result in major
cost savings. Cutting only a minute or two off theinstallation time for each duplex receptacle or handybox can reduce the labor cost by several hundred toa thousand dollars a job. Getting better productivityfrom your electricians should be a primary concernfor every electrical contractor.
Assuming your electricians are experienced, well-trained, and have all the tools and materials they needto complete the work, the most significant increase inproductivity will probably be through motivation.
The best form of motivation for most electriciansis to encourage pride in the work they do. Every alertsupervisor knows the value of recognizing a job welldone. Acknowledging good work builds confidenceand encourages extra effort in the future.
Labor AvailabilityLabor in each locale may not always be readily
available. Prior to bidding any project, make an eval-uation of the available work force. You may need tomake staffing or salary adjustments for the durationof that project. Your work force evaluation will helpyou prepare for adding another workman, or adjust-ing a current employee’s salary and benefits to com-pete with rates in your area.
Handling InspectionsThe on-site supervisor or foreman should be respon-
sible for dealing with all inspectors. Don’t let others cir-cumvent the supervisor’s or foreman’s authority.
An inspector’s only job is to see that the installa-tion complies with the code. They aren’t supervisorsand don’t direct the work. They can and do interpretthe code and sometimes make mistakes. Encouragethe foreman or supervisor to take issue promptlywith a questionable interpretation. Ask the inspectorto cite a specific code as his reference. If the inspec-tor insists that his interpretation is correct, and if youbelieve it’s wrong, call the building official to initiatean appeal. Your trade association or the NationalElectrical Contractors’ Association may also be ableto persuasively argue in your favor.

Some inspectors have a reputation for beingimpossible to deal with. Aggressive enforcement ofquestionable code interpretations can severely hurtproject productivity. Following the code carefully willkeep you out of most compliance arguments. Everyelectrician and electrical supervisor must know thecode. Code classes are taught at continuationschools in many communities. You can take codeclasses to both understand how the code is appliedand to remain current on code changes.
Mobilization and DemobilizationMany electrical subcontractors have job shacks
and lockup boxes that can be moved onto the job forstoring tools and materials. Some larger firms havetrailers that can be moved from job to job. No matterwhat type of on-site storage you use, setting uptakes time. The bigger the job, the more time willprobably be needed.
Usually the first step is getting permission to set upyour storage area on the site. Sometimes storagespace is at a premium. Some city projects literallyhave no storage space until parts of the building arecompleted and can then be used. Occasionally toolsand equipment will have to be stored off site. This canrequire daily mobilization and demobilization, whichincreases your labor cost substantially. Be sure yourestimate includes these costs.
Demobilization usually takes less time and costsless than mobilization. Removing the surplus materi-al, tools and equipment can be done by helpers ormaterial handlers rather than electricians.
One important item in mobilization is temporaryelectrical service. Be sure you know who pays forinstallation of temporary power and who pays forpower used on site during construction. It’s commonfor the electrical contractor to cover the cost of electri-cal distribution and service. Installation is usually doneby your electricians and will have to pass inspection.
Most communities require temporary electricalpermits prior to starting work. Before applying for thepermit, contact the electric utility provider and requesta meeting with whoever coordinates extensions ofservice — usually the planner. Before your meeting,determine what size service you need. The plannerwill tell you what voltage is available and where thepoint of connection will be. Don’t end this meeting withthe planner until you’ve covered every requirementand procedure imposed by the electric utility.
Job CleanupTrash and debris that obstructs access to (and
on) the job site can make good production next toimpossible. That alone should be encouragement toregularly dispose of accumulated waste. Most speci-fications require that subcontractors remove unusedmaterials, cartons, wrappers and discarded equip-
ment. On many jobs, the general contractor has theright to backcharge subs for removal of their dis-cards if they don’t clean the site themselves.
Encourage your crews to do their cleanup whileinstallation is in progress. For example, each time afixture is removed from a carton, the tradesman shouldcollapse the carton and throw it on the discard pile. Ittakes slightly more time to dispose of trash this way,but cleanup is less likely to be forgotten.
Some contractors and subcontractors have a rep-utation for running a dirty job. You’ve probably seensites that are so cluttered that you can’t understandhow anyone could work efficiently. Of course, as theelectrical contractor, you can’t dictate to the generalcontractor or the other subcontractors. But the workhabits of others affect your productivity, and conse-quently, your profit.
I believe that if accumulated debris is slowingprogress on the job, it’s within your rights to discussit with the general and the other subs. Request ameeting, right in the middle of the clutter. That alonemay do the trick.
If you don’t insist on a clean site, the fire depart-ment probably will. A clean job is more efficient andsafer. A cluttered job costs everyone time and money.
ProductionNo matter how simple and quick you anticipate
them to be, most jobs will have some productionproblems. Every job is unique. Every job bringstogether skilled tradesmen with varying preferencesand habits. Some have never worked togetherbefore. Yet each must coordinate the work he doeswith those who precede him and those who follow.It’s normal to expect that some adjustments will beneeded before cooperation becomes routine.
Of course, the general contractor is the key tocooperation among the trades. A general whoschedules trades properly will have fewer problemsand will help all subcontractors earn the profitthey’re hoping for. This isn’t automatic. And somegeneral contractors never learn how to scheduleproperly. From an estimating prospective, it’s moreexpensive to work for a contractor who has sched-uling problems than it is to work for a contractorwho’s efficient at job coordination. If you anticipateproduction problems like this on a job, your esti-mate should reflect it.
Good supervision helps avoid most productionproblems. Try to schedule material deliveries in atimely manner. Have the right tools on hand whenneeded. Keep crews as small as possible. Don’twork your crews more than 40 hours a week unlessabsolutely necessary. Too many bodies and toomany hours will erode production.

If you’re using a larger crew, don’t have everyonework at the same time. Instead, break the crew intotwo units and encourage friendly competition betweenthe two. Offer a reward for the winning crew.
CorrectionsThis book’s tables assume that little or no time is
spent making corrections after the work is done.Electrical contractors should have very few callbacks.
If you’re called back often to replace faulty materialsor correct defective workmanship, one of four things ishappening. First, you could be working for some veryparticular contractors or owners, or handling somevery sensitive work. In that case, callbacks could bepart of the job and should be included in each esti-mate. Second, you could be installing substandardmaterials. Third, your electricians could be doing hap-hazard work. Finally, your installation procedure couldbe omitting fixture and circuit tests that could locateproblems before the owner finds them.
When qualified electricians install quality materials,the risk of a callback is small. Occasionally a ballastwill fail after 10 or 20 hours in use. And sometimes anowner’s negligence will damage a circuit or switch.When this happens, accept the service work as rou-tine. Complete it promptly at no extra charge.Consider it cheap advertising — a chance to establishyour reputation with the owner. You could turn theservice call into some extra work later.
Your Type of WorkMost electrical contractors prefer to handle specif-
ic types of work. Only a few have the capital, equip-ment and skills needed to handle the largest jobs.Most will do residential wiring because that’s themost plentiful work available. Some prefer privatework with as little government interference as possi-ble. Others bid only government jobs.
The most profitable electrical contractors special-ize in one type of work or customer. The electricalconstruction field is too broad to do everything well.Select an area that you feel comfortable with, andconcentrate on doing it as well or better than anyoneelse. Of course, some of the older and larger electri-cal shops will do almost any type of work. But nearlyevery electrical contractor prefers some class of jobover all others — and would take only that work ifthere was enough available to stay busy.
Observe the electrical contractors in your area.Notice the companies that seem to be busiest andmost profitable. See what class of customers theyservice or what type of work they do most. It’s proba-bly easier to follow the success of another contractorwho’s found a winning formula than it is to invent anew formula yourself.
Specialization lets you hire electricians who arespecialists, too. That tends to improve productivity,keep costs down, and improve profits — as long asyou’re handling work that’s within your specialty.
Coordination is easier and the profits will usuallybe higher if you work for a limited number of generalcontractors. Some contractors seem to be mastersat putting a project together. These same contrac-tors probably pay promptly and treat their subs fairly.That makes your job easier and tends to fatten yourbottom line. If you’ve found several contractors whomake life more pleasant for you, keep them suppliedwith competitive bids that’ll bring more work into bothyour shop and theirs.
Most electrical contractors don’t bid governmentwork. It’s a specialty that requires specific knowl-edge: complying with detailed general conditions,observing regulations, anticipating inspection criteriaand following administrative procedures. And everybranch of federal, state and local government has itsown requirements. Those who’ve mastered the pro-cedures usually do quite well when work is plentiful.But government work is a tide that rises and falls justlike that of general construction.
Bid ShoppingMany contractors prefer projects that require sub-
contractor listings. The general contractor must list thesubcontractors he plans to use, and has to use thesubs he lists. When listing of subs isn’t required, insome cases the general contractor shops for lowersubcontract bids right up to the time work begins.Even if the general has to list his subs in the contractwith the owner, he’ll still usually have a month or twoto shop bids after the contract is awarded.
When a general contractor uses your bid to land ajob, it’s normal to expect that your company will getthe contract. Giving all your competition a secondlook at the job is in no one’s interest but the generalcontractor’s. It’s a waste of time to bid for generalcontractors who shop their sub bids. Nor is it goodpractice to undercut another electrical contractorwhose estimate was used by the winning generalcontractor. Support the effort of reputable subcon-tractors who promote subcontractor listing at bid time.
Need More Help?This book is concerned primarily with labor and
material costs for electrical construction. You’ll findonly limited information here on how to compile anestimate. If you need a detailed explanation on howto make a material take-off and complete the bid,another book by this publisher may be helpful. Youcan read about and purchase Estimating ElectricalConstruction using the order form bound into theback of this book.

Every electrical estimator should be familiar withthe National Electrical Code®. Nearly all inspectionauthorities follow NEC® recommendations on whatis and what is not good electrical construction prac-tice. Most inspection authorities accept electricalmaterials that comply with NEC standards. Butsome cities and counties have special require-ments that supplement the current NEC. Othersare still following an older edition of the NEC. TheNEC is revised every three years to incorporatechanges deemed necessary to keep the code up-to-date.
Be aware of the version of the NEC that appliesat each job you’re estimating, and stay current onspecial requirements that the inspection authoritymay impose.
Job specifications usually state that all workmust comply with the NEC. But on many jobs theNEC sets only the minimum standard. Job specifi-cations may prohibit what the NEC permits. Forexample, job specs might require specific installa-tion methods or mandate specification grade fix-tures.
The National Electr ical Code classifies allenclosed channels intended to carry electrical con-ductors as “raceway.” This includes conduit,busway and wireway. The most common racewayis electrical conduit. The code identifies the sizeand number of conductors that can be run througheach size of conduit.
Conduit is intended to serve two purposes. First,it’s a protective shield for the conductor it carries. Itreduces the chance of accidental damage to thewire or insulation. Second, it protects people andproperty from accidental contact with the conduc-tors. A ground or short is both a safety and a firehazard.
Conduit is generally required in commercial andindustrial buildings, hospitals, hotels, office build-ings, stores and underground facilities. It’s not gen-erally used in wiring homes and apartments.
Several types of electrical conduit have beenapproved for electr ical construction. Each isdesigned for a specific purpose or use. All conduitused in electrical construction as a raceway forconductors must bear a label issued by theUnderwriter’s Laboratories. The UL label indicatesthat the product has been approved for use underthe National Electrical Code.
The NEC permits a maximum of four bendstotaling 360 degrees between terminations in a run
of conduit. Exposed conduit should be installedhorizontal or vertical and should run parallel tobuilding members. Concealed conduit should berun in the shortest direct line to reduce the lengthof run. Long runs waste materials, require exces-sive labor and, if long enough, can reduce the volt-age available at the load end.
Electrical Metallic TubingEMT is also known as thin wall or steel tube.
EMT conduit is nonferrous steel tubing sold in 10-foot lengths. Unlike water pipe, the ends aren’tthreaded. The conduit has a corrosion-resistantcoating inside and outside. This coating may behot-dipped galvanizing, electroplating, or someother material. The conduit sizes are ½", ¾", 1",1¼", 1½", 2", 2½", 3", 3½" and 4".
Many types of EMT fittings are available. Thereare elbows, compression, set screw, indent anddrive-on fittings which may be made of steel or diecast. Couplings and connectors are sold separatelyand not included in the pr ice of the conduit.Various types of connectors may be purchasedwith or without insulated throats. The locknuts forthe connectors are included in the cost of the con-nector.
Couplings are available for joining EMT to rigidmetal conduit and to flexible conduit. These cou-plings are available in compression, set screw anddrive-on type and are made of steel or die cast.
EMT conduit is sold without couplings. You haveto figure the number of couplings needed and pricethem separately. To figure the number needed,allow one coupling for each 10 feet of conduit.Then add one coupling for each factory-madeelbow.
EMT should be bent with a special conduit ben-der. The bender has a shoe that fits over andaround about half of the conduit to keep the con-duit from collapsing as it bends. With a bender it’seasy to produce smooth, consistent bends up to 90degrees. Hand benders are used on sizes from ½"to 1¼". EMT bending machines are available for allsizes of conduit. There are manual, hydraulic andelectrically driven machines.
Offsets are made to take EMT conduit aroundobstructions, and when needed, to align the con-duit at a box or cabinet. You can make offsets witha hand bender on sizes up to 1¼". Offsets in EMTconduit over 1¼" should be made with a machine.

In smaller sizes, conduit can be cut with a tubingcutter. Cut larger diameters with a hacksaw or bymachine. Cut ends must be reamed to remove theburrs made while cutting. Burrs can damage insu-lation when wire is pulled through the conduit.Ream with a pocket knife or pliers on smaller sizesand with a metal file or pipe reamer on larger sizes.
EMT must be supported so it doesn’t deflect onlonger runs. Straps and nailers are the most com-mon way of supporting EMT. Straps usually haveone or two holes for securing to the building. Mostinspection authorities won’t let you support EMT onplumber’s perforated metal tape. Straps come inthin steel, heavy duty steel or malleable types.There are special straps made of spring steel forsupporting small sizes of EMT to hanger rods ordrop ceiling wires.
EMT conduit should be supported at least every10 feet with a strap or hanger and within 18 inchesof every junction box or cabinet.
Other supports include beam clamps for attach-ing conduit to structural steel members and strapsfor mounting EMT on steel channel strut. Thesetwo-piece straps or clamps are inserted into thestrut and bolted together to hold the conduit inplace.
EMT can be installed inside or outside, in con-crete or masonry, exposed or concealed in walls,floors or ceilings. But be sure to use the correct fit-tings in wet locations. EMT is not approved formost types of hazardous locations. Some specslimit the use of EMT to dry areas and don’t allowplacement in masonry or concrete. Conduit placedin concrete floor slab is generally placed below thereinforcing bar curtain or between curtains whentwo curtains are used. Tie the conduit to the rebarto prevent shifting as the concrete is placed.
Where conduit is turned up above the surface ofthe concrete, the radius of the turn must be con-cealed. Part of it can be concealed in a wall, butnone should be visible after the building finish hasbeen installed.
As with all types of conduit, EMT should beinstalled with a minimum of damage to the struc-ture. Keep it clear of heating, ventilating and airconditioning ducts, fire sprinkler systems, plumbinglines, access doors, etc. When necessary, theinstaller will have to make offsets and bends so theconduit fits into devices, electrical boxes and cabi-nets.
Flexible Metal ConduitThere are several types of flex conduit: standard
wall steel flex, reduced wall steel flex, and alu-minum flex. It comes in diameters from 3/8" to 4"and is coiled in rolls of 100 feet in the small sizesand 25 feet in the larger sizes. Flex is usually used
in concealed locations but never underground or inconcrete. It’s cut with a special flex cutter, a handhacksaw, or with a power cutter such as a portableband saw. The inside cut edge must be reamed toremove cutting burrs which would damage insula-tion when wire is pulled through conduit.
Flex connectors are available with set screw,screw-in, clamp type, straight, or angled connec-tors. They’re made of steel or die cast. Insulatedconnectors are also available. Die cast flex cou-plings are available for joining flex to flex, flex toEMT, or flex to threaded conduit. Support flex withconduit straps or nailers.
Most inspection authorities require that a bond-ing conductor be installed when electrical wiring isrun in flex. Bonding ensures that there’s electricalcontinuity in the flex from one end to the other.
Some specifications restrict the use of flex toshort connections to equipment that is subject tovibration (such as motors and machinery) and forbuilt-ins, recessed lighting, and lay-in lighting fix-tures.
Flex conduit is popular in remodeling workwhere wiring in raceway has to be run through anexisting cavity wall or in a ceiling cavity. With a littleeffort, your installer can fish the flex from point topoint without opening the wall or ceiling.
Polyvinyl Chloride ConduitPVC conduit is approved by the NEC for many
types of applications. But there are some situationswhere it cannot replace metallic conduit. It’s notapproved for hazardous locations or in return airplenums. Check with the inspection authority forother restrictions. The standard length is 10 feetand sizes range from ½" to 6". Schedule 40 PVC isthe standard weight. Schedule 80 has a heavierwall. PVC can be installed directly underground,concrete encased underground, exposed, in con-crete walls, and in unit masonry.
One coupling is furnished with each length ofconduit and is usually attached to the conduit. PVCmust be bent with a special hot box which heatsthe conduit until it becomes pliable. Once heated tothe right temperature, the tube is bent and thenallowed to cool. PVC fittings fit both Schedule 40and 80 conduit. Couplings, terminal adapters,female adapters, expansion fittings, end bells,caps, conduit bodies, pull boxes, outlet boxes andelbows require a special cement. The glue is air-drying and comes in half-pints, pints, quarts, andgallon containers. The smaller containers have abrush attached to the cap for applying the cementto the conduit or fittings. PVC conduit can joinother types of conduit if you use the right fittings totie the two types together.
PVC is nonconductive. That makes a bondingconductor necessary to ensure electrical continuity

from the device to the service panel. You probablywon’t need a bonding conductor when PVC is usedas communications conduit or in some applicationthat doesn ’ t include electr ical wir ing. Wheninstalled exposed, PVC requires extra support tokeep it from sagging.
Some job specs restrict use of PVC to specificlocations. One common restriction is to limit PVCto underground installations encased in a concreteenvelope. Many specifications restrict its use tocertain applications.
PVC conduit can be cut with a hand hacksaw, awood crosscut saw, or with a power cuttingmachine. The inside cut edge should be reamed toremove the cutting burr. Use a pocket knife or afile.
Power and communications duct is usuallycalled P&C duct. It’s made of PVC in 25-footlengths and in diameters from 1" to 6". There aretwo types of P&C duct. One is called EB forencased burial. The other is DB for direct burial.Fittings for P&C duct include couplings (one is fur-nished with each length), end bells, caps andplugs, terminal adapters, female adapters, elbows,and expansion fittings. The elbows are available invarious shapes and with either long or short radii.Fittings can be used either on type EB or DB. Usea special cement to weld the fittings to the conduit.
Bend P&C duct with a hot box. It can be cut withthe same tools as PVC conduit. The inside cutedge must be reamed to remove the cutting burr.
P&C duct is used for underground systems only,never above ground.
ABS underground duct is used and installed thesame as PVC P&C duct. It requires a special ABScement to weld the fittings to the conduit. The jobspecifications or the utility company may requireeither P&C, ABS or PVC duct, depending on thespecific use.
Galvanized Rigid ConduitGRS or RSC (for rigid steel conduit) is made with
nonferrous metal and has a corrosion-resistantcoating on the inside. The outer coating is eitherhot-dipped galvanizing or electroplate. It comes indiameters from ½" to 6" and in 10-foot lengths witha thread on each end. A coupling is furnished on oneend of each length. GRS can be cut with a handhacksaw, a pipe cutter, or with a cutting machine.The inner cut edge must be reamed to remove theburr. Use a pipe reamer or a file.
After the pipe has been cut and reamed, it canbe threaded. Use a hand die for threading on asmall job. Where there’s more cutting and thread-ing to be done, use a threading machine. Severaltypes are available. Small portable electric thread-ing tools cut sizes up to 2". Larger threadingmachines can cut, ream and thread conduit diame-
ters up to 6". Another good choice for GRS up to 6”is a threading set that uses a tripod vise stand anda threading head that clamps to the pipe in the visestand. The threading head is turned with a univer-sal joint connected to a power vise. Another setuses a tripod vise stand to hold the conduit. Thethreading head clamped on the conduit is turnedwith a reduction gear assembly powered by anelectric drill. This rig works well on diameters over2".
Use enough cutting oil to keep the die cool andlubricated during thread cutting. Cutting oil comesin clear or dark and in small cans, gallons and bar-rels. Use an oil can to keep a film of oil ahead ofthe dies. Commercial oiling units hold about a gal-lon of cutting oil and recirculate oil back to the cut-ting teeth as oil drips into the catch basin. Mostthreading machines have automatic oilers that filterthe oil as it’s reused.
Elbows are available for all sizes of GRS. Longradius bends are available for the larger sizes.Some specifications require concentric bends forall exposed conduit installed parallel on a commonhanging assembly or trapeze.
GRS fittings include couplings, locknuts, bush-ings, one-hole straps, two-hole straps, heavy dutytwo-hole straps, expansion fittings, threadlesscompression couplings, threadless set-screw cou-plings, threadless compression connectors, thread-less set-screw connectors, three-piece union-typecouplings, strut clamps, beam clamps, hangerclamps, condulets, split couplings, caps, and plugs.
Galvanized rigid conduit is bent about the sameway as EMT except that the bender is made forbending rigid conduit. Hand benders are used onconduit up to 1". There are hand benders for 1¼"and 1½" rigid steel conduit, but it takes a lot ofeffort to make the bend. Power benders can beused on all sizes of conduit, even the ½".
There are three common types of rigid steelbenders: one-shot benders create a single stan-dard radius arc. Segment benders must be movedalong the conduit as each few degrees of bend aremade. The electric sidewinder bender has up tothree bending shoes in place ready to bend any ofthree sizes of conduit. The sidewinder saves laboron larger rigid conduit jobs.
Supports for rigid conduit must be no more than10 feet apart from support to support and within 18inches of junction boxes or cabinets.
Trapeze hangers are often used to carry multi-ple runs of GRS conduit. Trapeze hangers can bemade from strut, angle iron, or channel iron. Thetrapeze is supported from the structural frame ofthe building with threaded rod — usually either 3/8"or 1/2" diameter. The upper part of the rod isattached to beam clamps or concrete anchors. Thelower portion of the rod is run through the trapezeand is secured with double nuts and flat washers.

Like other hangers, trapezes have to be placedwithin 10 feet of each other and should be sized tosupport the total weight of the conduit and allcable. Trapeze hangers can be stacked one overthe other with conduit clamped on each one.
IMC ConduitIntermediate metal conduit (IMC) has a thinner
wall than GRS. It comes in the same sizes anduses the same fittings as GRS. The same toolscan be used for cutting, threading, and bending.It’s made about the same way as GRS, comes in10-foot lengths and is galvanized for corrosionresistance. The difference is that IMC is lighter andeasier to install than GRS. Some specificationsrestrict its use to specific applications.
PVC Coated ConduitBoth GRS and IMC conduit come with a PVC
coating for use in highly corrosive locations.Aluminum tubing also comes with a PVC coating,but applications are restricted to specific uses. ThePVC coating is either 10, 20 or 40 mils thick, and isbonded directly to the conduit wall. Most fittingsmade for use with GRS are available with a PVCcoating.
To thread PVC coated conduit, the PVC coatingmust be cut back away from the end to be thread-ed. When PVC coated conduit is put in a vise, besure the coating is protected from the vise jaws.Also be careful when you’re bending PVC coatedconduit not to damage the coating. If the coating isdamaged, patching material is available to restorethe surface. The material comes in a spray can.Apply several thin layers to repair worn spots.
Conduit Take-OffHere’s how to calculate conduit quantities. First,
scan the specs that cover conduit and conduitinstallation. Absorb all the information that relatesto conduit. Then review the drawings for anythingabout conduit. The symbol list may include theengineer’s design notations. Notes on the drawingsor in the specs may set specific minimum conduitsizes. It’s common for an engineer to require aminimum size conduit in the home run to the panelor cabinets or to specify a minimum size of ¾"throughout the job. It’s also common practice tolimit the maximum size of EMT to 2". Ignoring anote like that can be expensive.
For your quantity take-off, use any ruled 8½" by11" tablet. Draw a pencil line down the left side ofthe sheet about an inch from the edge. Begin bylooking for the smallest diameter of EMT. Write“EMT” at the top left of your take-off sheet. On thenext line down, to the left of the vertical line, list thesmallest EMT size found in the project — probably½". To the right of the vertical line and on the same
horizontal line as the size, you’re going to listlengths of EMT of that diameter. Then you’ll go tothe next larger diameter, listing quantities until allEMT on the plans has been covered.
Check the plan scale before you start measuringconduit. If the plan has been reduced photographi-cally to save paper, the scale will be inaccurate.Once you’re sure of the correct scale, select theappropriate map measure or rule to compute con-duit lengths.
Measure the length of each run of ½" EMT. Addenough conduit to include the run down to the wallswitch, receptacle or panel. Write down the calcu-lated length. As each run is listed on your take-offsheet, put a check mark on the plan over the lineyou just measured. Use an erasable color penciland let each color stand for a particular conduittype. For example, red might be for GRS conduit.Follow the same color code on all estimates toavoid mistakes.
If there are more than two or three plan sheets,it’s good practice to calculate the length of ½" EMTon each plan sheet and list that number separatelyon your take-off form. When you’ve finished takingoff ½" EMT on the first plan sheet, list that quantity,and at the top of the column write in the plan sheetnumber. Then draw a vertical line to the right ofthat column and start accumulating lengths fromthe next plan sheet. As each plan page is taken off,enter the total and write the plan sheet number atthe top of the column. Figure 1-1 shows what yourtake-off might look like if conduit and fittings arefound on plan sheets E3 to E11.
When all of the smallest-diameter EMT hasbeen listed, go on to the next larger size. Followthe same procedure.
After listing all EMT, begin with the fittings.Below the last horizontal line used for conduit, andto the left of the vertical line, write the word“Connectors.” Below that, list all sizes of connec-tors needed for the job, again working from thesmallest size to the largest. Don’t bother to list thecouplings. They’ll be figured later from the totalconduit length — one for each 10 feet and one foreach elbow.
Count each connector needed for each conduitrun on each plan sheet. Enter the total on yourtake-off form. When all connectors are counted,count EMT elbows from 1¼" to the largest sizeneeded.
Follow this system for all estimates and for eachitem on every estimate. Keep it simple and uniformto avoid mistakes and omissions. When finished,your conduit and fitting take-off form might look likeFigure 1-1. The right column is the sum of thecolumns to the left.

Many jobs limit the use of EMT to dry locations.So your EMT take-off will probably start with thelighting plans or the lighting portion of the plan.
Taking Off the WireNext, compute the quantity of wire needed.
Head up another take-off form with the word “Wire”at the top. Put a vertical line down the left side ofthe page about an inch from the left edge. In thismargin, list wire sizes from the smallest to thelargest. To the right of the vertical line you’ll listlengths for each wire gauge, on each plan sheet.
Start by measuring the length of ½" EMT withtwo #12 wires. Multiply by 2 to find the wire length.Then measure the length of ½" EMT with three #12wires and multiply by 3. Keep following this proce-
dure until the wire needed in all EMT has beencomputed. But watch for changes in the wire sizeon long runs. Sometimes the engineer will decidethat a larger wire size is needed in the first portionof a run to reduce the voltage drop at the end ofthe line. This is common where the last device orfixture on a circuit is a long way from the panel.
Follow the same procedure for all conduit andwire. Record all of the measurements on the worksheets. Don’t worry about waste of conduit or wireat this point. We’ll include an allowance for wasteafter the totals are added and before figures aretransferred to the pricing sheets.
Sometimes the specifications or a note on theplans will allow the use of aluminum feeder wireover a certain size, providing the ampacity of the

wire is maintained and the conduit size is increasedto accommodate the larger wire size. Be sure toobserve these restrictions.
Taking Off Other ConduitSome specifications permit the use of aluminum
conduit in certain locations. The aluminum conduitis made in the same sizes as GRS. The fittings areidentical except that they’re made of aluminuminstead of steel. Most specs prohibit the use of dis-similar metals in a conduit run and don’t allow plac-ing of aluminum conduit in concrete. Aluminumconduit saves time because it’s lighter and easierto handle. But large wire sizes may be a little moredifficult to pull in aluminum conduit. The insulationof the wire, the length of the conduit run, and thepulling lubricant used have an effect on pullingresistance.
When taking off the underground conduit, start aseparate work sheet for trenching, surface cutting,breaking, and patching. List all excavation forunderground pull boxes, handholes, manholes,poles, and light pole bases. Be sure the trenchesare big enough for the number of duct they have tocarry. If the specifications require concrete or sandencasement around underground duct, calculatethe amount of concrete or sand as you computemeasurements for each trench.
Be systematic. Follow the same procedure con-sistently on every take-off. If there are other estima-tors in your office, be sure they are using the sameprocedures. Being consistent reduces errors, mini-mizes omissions, and makes the work easier forothers to check.
We’ve covered all common conduit. But someother types are used occasionally for special pur-poses:
Fiber duct is a paper and creosote duct. Type 1is intended for concrete encasement and Type 2 isused for direct burial. Sizes range from 2" to 5".Lengths can be 5, 8 or 10 feet. End fittings aretapered. Ends that have been cut must be taperedwith a duct lathe.
Transite duct is cement asbestos duct. Type 1is for concrete encasement and Type 2 is for directburial. Sizes range from 2" to 6". It’s made in 5, 8and 10-foot lengths. Transite is harder to cut andmust have tapered ends for fittings.
Soapstone duct is made from a soapstone-likematerial in sizes from 2" to 4".
Wrought iron pipe comes in sizes from 2" to 4".It’s used only for certain types of underground com-munications lines and has to be threaded on eachend to accept fittings.
Clay conduit comes in sizes from 2" to 4". It’sused for underground communication runs only.
These types of conduit are seldom specifiedtoday. You’ll see them used only when an old ductline has to be extended. It may be hard to find a fit-ting that will join an existing duct system made withone type of duct to a new run of duct made fromsome other material. Sometimes an oversize plas-tic coupling can be used. In some cases an insideplastic coupling can be inserted into the old con-duit. Then new conduit can be joined to start thenew run.
Before extending an old underground duct sys-tem, check the old conduit with a mandrel to besure the line is clean and clear. Old fiber duct that’sbeen under water for a long time will swell, makingthe inside diameter too small to pull new cable.
Silicon-bronze conduit comes in sizes from ½"to 4". It’s threaded like GRS and uses similar fit-tings, except that fittings are silicon-bronze also. It’sused in extremely corrosive locations. This type ofconduit will be available from your dealer on specialrequest only. It’s harder to bend, but can be bentwith standard rigid bending tools. It threads verywell with the standard threading tools and cuttingoil.
Liquid-tight flexible metal conduit comes insizes from ½" to 4". It’s used to extend conduit toelectrical equipment in damp or wet locations.Special fittings are available for connecting electri-cal systems and devices with this conduit. Yourdealer probably stocks a limited supply of liquid-tight flex and will quote prices on request. The con-duit can be cut with a hacksaw. Be sure to removethe cutting burr. Special connectors with grips areavailable to support the conduit and prevent anypulling strain.
Liquid-tight flexible non-metallic conduitcomes in sizes from 1/2" to 11/2". It’s used in place offlexible metal conduit in concealed locations.Special fittings are available for making connec-tions. Your dealer may have a limited supply instock.
Flexible metallic tubing is available only insizes from 3/8" to 3/4". Special fittings are availablefor making connections. The tubing can be bent byhand and is cut with a hacksaw. The cutting burrmust be removed before connectors are installed.
Other UL-approved raceways for electrical sys-tems are covered in other sections of this book.See the sections on surface metal raceway, under-floor ducts, header ducts, cable tray, and wireway.
Using the Conduit TablesThe labor tables that follow are for conduit runs
that average 50 feet. You’ll note that there is nomodification in the tables for shorter runs or longerruns of conduit. I agree that it takes more time perlinear foot to install a 5-foot run of conduit than itdoes to install a 95-foot run of conduit. But I don’t

recommend that you tally shorter runs and longerruns separately and then compute labor separatelyfor each. There’s an easier way.
On most jobs the conduit runs average 50 feet.There will usually be about as many runs under 50feet as there are runs over 50 feet. It’s safe then, touse a 50-foot run as our benchmark. As long asthe conduit runs on a job average close to 50 feet,there’s no need to modify the figures in thesetables. If conduit runs average well over 50 feet,consider reducing the cost per linear foot slightly.Increase the cost slightly if conduit runs averageless than 50 feet.
The labor costs that follow include the laborneeded to bore holes in wood stud walls. Whereholes have to be cut through concrete or unitmasonry, add these costs separately.
Typical conduit bending is included in the tablesthat follow. Usually you will have a bend or offsetabout every 20 feet. Labor needed to make bendsand offsets is minor when installing the smallersizes of conduit.
Concealed conduit is installed where it will beinaccessible once the structure or finish of thebuilding is completed. Exposed conduit isattached to the surface where access is possibleeven after the building is completed. It’s usuallyfaster to run concealed conduit through wall andceiling cavities that will be covered later by finishmaterials. Installing conduit on surfaces that won’tbe covered later usually takes more time.
If only a small percentage of the conduit is to beinstalled exposed, the cost difference will be minorand probably can be ignored. But if most of the jobis exposed, add about 20 percent to the labor cost.
The conduit tables that follow assume that elec-tricians are working from ladders and lifts up to 12feet above the floor. Add to the labor cost forheights beyond 12 feet. If a large quantity of con-duit has to be installed at 18 feet above the floor,for example, add 15 percent to the labor cost.
If there are conduit runs over 20 feet above thefloor, check your labor contract for a high timeclause. Some agreements require that electriciansbe paid time and one-half for heights from 20 to 50feet and double time for heights beyond 50 feet. Ifhigh time must be paid, be sure the extra cost iscovered in your bid.
Job Size ModifiersIt’s seldom necessary to estimate lower produc-
tivity just because the job is small. If you’re figuringa very small job with only four or five conduit runs,each with only a strap or two, you might want touse a higher hourly labor rate. On any other job
that takes from two days to several years, you canuse the labor units in the tables that follow. Ofcourse, you’ll still have to modify the figures forother than “good” conditions. And if you have longruns of feeder conduit with parallel runs on a com-mon trapeze, you can reduce those labor units byas much as 40 percent.
PitfallsThe most common error when estimating con-
duit is failing to read the plans and specs. Readcarefully! Your profit depends on it. It’s easy tomiss a little note where the designer sets the mini-mum size for conduit at ¾" and 1" for all home runsto the panel. Look for a note on the plans thatrequires stub ups to ceiling cavities from powerand lighting panels. The designer may require one¾" conduit run for each three spare circuit breakersin a panel.
It’s common for rigid conduit to be installed in aconcrete floor slab. Where GRS is stubbed up outof the concrete for a wall switch, it’s easier andcheaper to use EMT for the wall extension. TheNEC permits making that extension in EMT. Butsome specs don’t! Others require that a junctionbox be used to separate the two types of conduit.Failing to catch that note can be an expensive mis-take.
You’ll find all sorts of restrictions in specs andnotes on the plans. That’s why it’s so important toread the plans and specs carefully. It’s elementary,but it’s so often overlooked.
Waste of MaterialThere will always be some waste on a job.
Rounding off the conduit and wire needed to thenext even 100 feet will usually allow enough extramaterial to cover all waste. But there are somecases where you can anticipate a waste problem.For example, suppose there will be 2 feet of wastefor every 20 feet of conduit installed because of anunusual lighting pattern. Or suppose a row of junc-tion boxes is spaced at 9 feet. Then a 10 percentwaste allowance may be called for. That’s almostcertainly true if your job is installing the lightingonly. There may be no chance to use waste mate-rials on another part of the job.
AllowancesBe sure to make allowances for the vertical por-
tion of every conduit run that stubs up or down in awall. The floor plan doesn’t show the 4 or 5 feetneeded to run from the slab to the wall switch orpanel. Even worse, if the job is a warehouse, thestub up to a switch or panel may be 15 to 20 feet.That’s a wide miss! Watch for stub up.

Use these figures to estimate the cost of EMT conduit installed in a building under the conditions described on pages 5 and 6. Costs listed are for each 100 linear feet installed. The crew is one electrician working at a labor cost of $39.04 per manhour. These costs include typical bending, boring out wood studs and joists (in concealed locations only), layout, material handling, and normal waste. Add for connectors, couplings, straps, boxes, wire, sales tax, delivery, supervision, mobilization, demobilization, cleanup, overhead and profit. Note: Conduit runs are assumed to be 50’ long. Shorter runs will take more labor and longer runs will take less labor per linear foot.
