Approved Slot Chart

CHART REV DATE: 25 MAR 19

Select your conduit size and measure your cable diameter(s) which must fit within the min/max range corresponding to the quantity of cables in the white area of this chart.

Cable diameters that fall within the gray area of Conduit Size section cannot be accommodated. Therefore a 3” cable support has a cable range of 0.261” up to 1.130”. Cables smaller or larger cannot be considered.

Example: a 3” cable support will be used for 3 cables at 1.051” and 1 cable at 0.384”. Refer to the 3” conduit size column. We can only fit 3 cables between 1.011” to 1.070” but Note 4 allows an additional cable slot of .51” or smaller. This drilling will work.

Using the example above but the fourth cable is smaller at 0.216”, this drilling will not work. The 0.216” cable falls into the 0.211” to 0.260” range which is within the gray shaded area of the 3” conduit column.

Notes:

  1. One additional cable slot of .31″ or smaller allowed.
  2. One additional cable slot of .36″ or smaller allowed.
  3. One additional cable slot of .46″ or smaller allowed.
  4. One additional cable slot of .51″ or smaller allowed.
  5. One additional cable slot of .56″ or smaller allowed.
  6. One additional cable slot of .61″ or smaller allowed.
  7. One additional cable slot of .66″ or smaller allowed.
  8. One additional cable slot of .71″ or smaller allowed.
