Introductory Message

For the Facilitator:

Welcome to the TLE-Electrical Installation and Maintenance 10 on PEC

Provision on Electrical Metallic Tubing

This Self-Learning Module was collaboratively designed, developed and

reviewed by educators from the Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its
Officer-in-Charge Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A.
Agustin, in partnership with the City Government of Pasig through its mayor,
Honorable Victor Ma. Regis N. Sotto. The writers utilized the standards set by the K
to 12 Curriculum using the Most Essential Learning Competencies (MELC) in
developing this instructional resource.

This learning material hopes to engage the learners in guided and independent
learning activities at their own pace and time. Further, this also aims to help learners
acquire the needed 21st century skills especially the 5 Cs, namely: Communication,
Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Character while taking into
consideration their needs and circumstances.

In addition to the material in the main text, you will also see this box in the
body of the module:

Notes to the Teacher

This contains helpful tips or strategies that
will help you in guiding the learners.

As a facilitator you are expected to orient the learners on how to use this
module. You also need to keep track of the learners' progress while allowing them to
manage their own learning. Moreover, you are expected to encourage and assist the
learners as they do the tasks included in the module.

Electrical Metallic Tubing

a. Subjected to mechanical during or after the construction
b. Cinder fill
c. Hazards location
d. Exposure to corrosive fumes and vapor

B. Sizes
The standard length follows the gas pipes which is 10 ft. (3m) and the
diameter from1/2 inch up to 6 inches (150mm)

C. Under wet location

Electrical metallic tubing can be used provided the water is prevented
from entering the conduit. The support straps and other fittings must be
approved for the purpose.

D. Maximum number of tubing trade size of conduit
