Key Concepts

-
Corrosion Resistance
Rigid nonmetallic tubing does not suffer from corrosion like metallic tubing does. This property makes it ideal for environments where exposure to moisture or chemicals could degrade metal conduits over time, leading to lower maintenance costs and enhanced durability.
Lightweight and Ease of Installation
Nonmetallic tubing is generally lighter than its metallic counterparts, making it easier to handle, transport, and install. The reduced weight not only streamlines the installation process but can also minimize labor costs and structural support requirements.

1. Which of the following is the bigger wire? a) gauge no. 7 b) gauge no. 9 c) gauge no. 8 d) gauge no. 10 2. Which of the following is the wire gauge used for split types? a) gauge no. 6 b) gauge no. 8 c) gauge no. 7 d) gauge no. 9 3. Which of the following is the wire gauge used for solid type? a) gauge no. 8 b) gauge no. 10 c) gauge no. 9 d) gauge no. 11 4. Which of the following is the advantage of knobs and tube wiring method? a) there is no grounding that may cause electric shock b) the porcelain used has a longer lifespan c) the wire insulation becomes brittle, which may cause a fire hazard d) the wire may sag over time 5. Which of the following is the disadvantage of knobs and tube wiring method? a) this is excellent compared to other wiring methods because the wires are separated to avoid short circuits and it is less expensive b) the knobs are easily positioned because they are most likely attached to woods c) the porcelain used has a longer lifespan d) the modification is not safe, this is excellent compared to other wiring methods because the wires are separated to avoid short circuits and it is less expensive
