What is the standard length of EMT conduit?

The standard length of EMT (Electrical Metallic Tubing) conduit is typically 10 feet. This standard length is used in the electrical industry to facilitate easier handling, transportation, and installation. Having a standardized dimension allows for uniformity and compatibility with various fittings and junction boxes in electrical systems. This makes it convenient for technicians and electricians to determine the amount of conduit needed for a given job without having to cut longer lengths down to standard sizes.

While EMT conduit may be available in various other lengths for specific applications or needs, the 10-foot length is widely accepted as the norm in most installations. Other lengths, like 5 feet or 20 feet, are less common and more suited for particular situations, which is why the 10-foot length stands out as the standard.
