Fred,
Is there any way to add support to the PVC-EMT adaption point (below or above)?

Adding strut or anything to add support would aid in helping the PVC hold up to abuse. (you knew that already, Mr. Obvious strikes again...Doh!)

"rescue" job... I've coined another term! (or am I claiming it with selective amnesia?)



As far as damage, if it's a storage area, it will be abused.

I may add Unistrut between the wall and the EMT for more support. The gutter is secured to the wall via 5/16" x 3" lags through the 1x6, sheetrock and OSB. It's already pretty solid.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I really appreciate it!

What about building a form and pouring concrete just the height of the PVC fittings, out about 2 inches from the raceways? The "curb" might protect the PVC stubs from an errant hand truck or crazed bread rack.

I like it- a pretty job. Sure, a piece of strut, or other support to the pipe within 18" of the gutter would be nice- but that's being picky.

Fred, the job looks just fine. You don't need to support the conduits coming up from the floor because the distance is under 3'. I pesonally would have though. And as far as the PVC coming up through the pour thats legal also, although maybe next time you should use rigid metal sweeps for added protection. And guys stop busting on the man, the work is neet and to code, we all know there 100 different ways to have done that differently. Good job Fred,

PVC stub ups from slabs are quite common around here. There is a baracade required in front of service equipment so I don't think damage is a concern.
