Re: tower conduit
OK, well once we figure out what you want to do, I'll whip you up a parts list, but it will be graybar part numbers if that is ok, as that is who I have in my bag of tricks. If I can get manufacturer part numbers I will put those in as well so you can x-reference to something at Lowes or Home-D.
How are you strapping it down as you go up the tower?
Let me re-phrase that: How do you plan to mount the cable down or the conduit down to the tower as you go up the tower?
A lot of cellular companies will use various methods of mounting cable to a tower (regular communication tower or water tower, etc) and then just paint their cables. It pretty much is SOP on a lot of installs.

| I just checked the diameter, 1.5" is tight, so I am going to go with 2". May as well do emt. So the compression couplers are waterproof?- I did not know that. It is running to a small nema4 enclosure on the top and then a larger nema4 enclosure (actual pop) on the bottom, it is a straight vertical run. I assume just make sure I get compression fittings for the box entries as well and the thing will be watertight? |

Just make sure your couplings and connectors are listed as "Rain Tight".
Pluggable conduit sealing bodies are also available (and expensive) to keep water out of your equipment.
If you are using EMT on the verticals, you might want to consider LFMC on the tray. I'd transition from EMT to LFMC with straight pull bodies.
If you are running in to 2" knockouts, use a Crouse Hinds ST-6 or T&B H200TB. Either will work (2" threaded hub).

USA | Why transition at all? Is there a reason not to run EMT all the way from box to box? What do you mean by tray? I take it the T&B H200TB is a box termination for the lfmc not for emt? |
