Tee Stain Relief Fitting for electrical conduit?

[The Stigs Cousin]

I need to run wires out of the end of an 8 foot fluorescent fixture, 90 degrees both directions. So I need a Tee fitting but can't find any.

Are these available anywhere?

Yeah they make them, it's for pipe, can't remember exact name but I wanna say a tl, it's more for Comercial piping.

i think you are asking for a tee condolet. you can use this with emt or other pipe

Yes I know there are tees for water or gas but they won't install to the knockout hole the same way as an electrical conduit fitting will, with a lock ring.

You may need to come out of the light fixture with a short piece of conduit then use a a tee condolet. There may be a code issue to actually tee off of the light fixture. You are talking about using the light fixture as junction box....that doesn't sound up tp code.

I have six 8 ft fixtures... 3 rows of 2 so each row is in tandem. The center row is wired from the ceiling where the origina bulb was. To power the other two rows I want to just come off the end of the middle row, so 90 degrees both ways.

is this against code?

If you have surface mount strip fixtures there's no issue with wiring one fixture off another. That's one reason why there are knock-outs on the ends so they can be chained together.

You can jump from light to another with no issues,it's when you come from an outlet and say splice it in the light down to another outlet, that is illegal.
