<div id="yiv690057562">Thanks fellas,<br>I guess I was not clear. We are using RMC or IMC on all of are roof top runs with the appropriate expansion fittings. I am trying to figure out how to deal with the movement of the conduits at the bases where we strap it down to the base( a curb with a small peice of shallow b-line placed on it (4') ).<br>

Do we have an accepted best practice on this?. What I am really looking for is a way to starp long conduit runs on commercial rooftops in direct sun that allow movement and expanision joints to do thier job.<br>
