    Electrical conduit quantity takeoff

    About this tool

    Prepare a preliminary conduit takeoff by entering the lengths of independent straight routes and the number of repeated runs. The estimator counts full-length sticks per run, straight couplers at joints and support positions using your own spacing and waste allowance. All inputs stay in your browser.

    MAKE IT SIMPLE

    Example: 8+5+2+4 × 2 runs = 38 m total.

    Formula examples and counting rules

    A length expression such as 8+5+2+4 with 2 runs represents two separate 19 m routes. You may also enter (8+5+2+4)*2 with Runs set to 1. Do not set both multipliers above 1; this is rejected to avoid double counting. Each route is calculated separately for sticks and supports. Up to 100 rows.

    Quantity estimate assumptions

    Straight route lengths and repeated runs are independently rounded up to full stock pieces, straight couplers and end/intermediate support points. Waste applies to full pieces only. Select spacing and full-piece length from project requirements; shared supports, offcut reuse, fitting lengths, loads and code compliance are not evaluated.

    Worked examples

    8 m × 2 runs and 14 m × 1 run; 3 m sticks; 1.5 m support spacing; 5% allowance

    30 m straight route length, 12 sticks including allowance, 8 couplers and 25 support positions

    Independent runs use 11 base sticks, eight joints and 25 endpoint/intermediate support positions; one additional stick is added for waste.

    Questions & answers

    Does this determine legal bracket spacing?

    No. Support spacing is supplied by you. Check the conduit material, size, fixing method, relevant standards and site conditions.
