Ditto for me,iwire.
I try to space the conduits for whatever is required for inserting the straps after the fact.
What is the purpose for the code reference, Joe? Was that rule made so that things would be neat and tidy, and assure that conduits are actually SPACED for proper ventilation? Or was it done in order to make sure that all conduit entries are facing boxes perpendicularly? How is this rule enforced in practice? Do you see inspectors reserving it for obvious screwed-up cases? Or do you find that inspectors call it every time they see un-even racks? I certainly haven't run into ANY inspectors mentioning it in any re-model or retro-fit jobs I've been on - the places where you frequently find such violations committed by maintenance people(presumably)jamming another 1/2 or 3/4 in an existing rack.
