During overhead rough-in, EMT runs above an accessible ceiling are visibly sagging and tied to ceiling grid wires. What should the superintendent require?

Correct Answer

C) Have the raceways properly secured and independently supported according to the approved electrical installation requirements

Raceways must be installed with proper support so the electrical system is protected and maintainable. Sagging conduit tied to ceiling grid wires is a coordination and quality problem; concealment, end-only support, or an energized test does not make the installation acceptable.

Answer Options
A
Leave the runs as installed because the ceiling will hide them
B
Support only the ends of each conduit run
C
Have the raceways properly secured and independently supported according to the approved electrical installation requirements
D
The superintendent should accept the work if the circuits test energized

Why This Is the Correct Answer

Raceways must be installed with proper support so the electrical system is protected and maintainable. Sagging conduit tied to ceiling grid wires is a coordination and quality problem; concealment, end-only support, or an energized test does not make the installation acceptable.
