All conduit must be properly secured and supported. The [[Special:MyLanguage/Electrical codes|electrical code]] for the project location will specify the minimum distance between supports for a particular type of conduit, although the appropriate distance between supports for the conduit should ultimately be determined based upon what will offer the most protection from damage. All conduit should be snug against the surface that it is being run along rather than drooping or bending. It is important to offer additional support near junction boxes as strain placed on a conduit near a connection can lead to the failure of the connection.
