Questions
: State the CEC Rule number if the code book is used.
1.
When threading rigid conduit, what is an important step to ensure you have good threads?

Rule 12-1006 (1).
2.
External threads performed in the field shall comply with Table 40 of the CEC.
3.
Are Running
threads
permitted to allow easier coupling installation?
Running threads shall not be permitted according to CEC Rule 12-1006 (3).
4.
