Conduit fittings - 1 1/2"

[PipG]

I have a quantity of old but new and unused galvanized 1 1/2" saddles standard heavy spacing conduit, plus a few boxes of a smaller but still imperial measurement conduit fittings. The smaller have no make just boxes of 25 x F42 assume that is the part number. Are these used still ?

Conduit is metric now, but the saddles should still be usable, the difference between metric and imperial there won't make much if any difference.

Any fittings with threaded connections will not be usable - metric threads are different and adaptors are required if adding metric to an older installation.

Might be some use to Gazzer23....???

Sorry, missed the inch and a half bit......

Thank you Flameport - that is good news !

These are photos of some clamps which might help identification - I assume they are described as conduit clamps ?

Is this the same as this topic?

Same sort of topic but different pictures of other items.

Clamps or saddles.
Still usable for that size of conduit - however these things are very cheap to buy new, so very little value there.
1 1/2 inch electrical conduit isn't exactly a commonly used size either.

I have about 100 of the new boxed clamps in 2 sizes (first and 2nd picture) and about 100 assorted sizes as seen on the table and in the large brown box behind them shown in the 3rd picture. it just seems such a waste to scrap them. I suppose I could offer them on Ebay all together and hope someone has a use for them. I could lump in the other conduit accessories shown in the pictures on the other thread and see what happens. If nothing then I won's feel too bad about scrapping them !

They look a little flimsy for steel conduit use.

The F42 are 3/4 "deep x 2 1/4" top to base and 2" interior diameter.

I have a quantity of 1 1/2" saddles plus a few boxes of ones which are 2" which is of course smaller than 1½".

Forgive me if I'm a bit confused by that.

Anyway - now that you say they are for 2" diameter pipe, I'm even more certain that they look too flimsy to be used for 2" steel conduit.

I am trying to identify exactly what they are. As they are stored with other conduit fittings I thought they were similar in design, but am unable to locate make or the part number F42 and only have photos and dimensions to fo on. Do you think they are not conduit fittings but for another purpose ?

2" is even bigger than scaffold tube. OK - that is thick and strong, but 2" steel conduit is still going to be fairly substantial, so imagine that.

IHNI what those clips are for, and obviously I am only surmising on the basis of what they look like, and to me they do not look substantial enough to be used for 2" steel conduit, to me they look as though they'd be OK for 2" waste water pipe, or something similar.

If the box states 1 1/2" and the inner diameter is 2 inches, they are for 1 1/2 inch pipes, not conduit.
Such as these: https://www.jtmplumbing.co.uk/pipe-...s-c244/jtm-pipeline-unlined-steel-clamp-p7518

Conduit is sized on the outer diameter, pipes are sized on the inner bore.
