Hi everyone,
My first post. I've finally have a shop started. Slab is done and my Steel Masters quanset (38X30X14) will be here next week.
I'm wondering how to attach conduit to the walls and ceiling for electrical outlets and light fixture. Anyone have pictures? Still unsure of what type lights.
As far as electrical to the shop, I'm having a seperated survive ran underground to the quanset. Is there a combination meter socket/circuit break pa new with multiple circuits or should I buy 2 seperated boxes?
I'm trying to stay within budget

Hi there, getting into electrical world is little tricky. An outlet box should be installed where the lighting fixture will going to be installed. I would recommend you to hire a good technician for this work. A good technician will surely suggest you the affordable option. We recently had all our home electrical repairs NJ and other necessary fixtures done by the professional technician. :thumbup:

These tend to be difficult and expensive to do electrical in due to the amount of mounting structure you have to add.

You basically add coupling nuts and threaded rods on the inside of the bolts that hold the skin together and the threaded rod extends out about 6 or 7 inches and unistrut is mounted on it and the conduit is run on the unistrut.

There are decent books that cover just about everything you need at the Big box stores.

You will likely need to get creative about how to mount conduit to the inside of the structure. As Charles mentioned Unistrut has lots of little bits of hardware that can be used. (Home Depot has the stuff)
