How far should conduit spacers be placed prior to pouring concrete?

Conduit spacers are crucial for ensuring that conduits are held in place and remain properly aligned during the pouring of concrete. The recommended spacing for conduit spacers prior to pouring concrete is typically around 5 feet. This distance helps maintain stability and prevents the conduits from shifting under the weight of the concrete, which could lead to misalignment or damage.

By placing spacers at this interval, it allows for an adequate support that can withstand both the pressure of the wet concrete and the eventual curing process. If spacers are placed too far apart, there is a higher risk of the conduits moving, compromising the integrity of the installation. Therefore, spacing the conduits at 5 feet provides an effective balance between structural support and efficient workflow during concrete placement.
