2-Hole Emt Conduit Strap · 1/2 Inch Electrical Conduit Strap · .5EMTST2

What this product is for

This 1/2 in trade size EMT conduit strap is used to fasten electrical metallic tubing to a mounting surface and keep conduit runs aligned and supported. The 2-hole design helps hold the strap flat during installation and is commonly used where a more secure mount is preferred over a 1-hole strap.

Use for

Use for supporting 1/2 in EMT in residential, commercial, and light industrial installations. Common mounting surfaces include plywood backboards, strut-adjacent framing, concrete with anchors, and steel structures where approved fasteners are used.

Avoid for

Avoid using this strap for conduit sizes other than 1/2 in trade size EMT, or where corrosion resistance beyond standard zinc-plated steel is required. For washdown, corrosive, or outdoor environments, confirm whether a stainless or coated strap is needed.

Best for

Best for branch conduit runs, panel connections, and exposed EMT where a simple mechanical support is needed. Electricians often choose 2-hole straps when they want better strap stability during fastening and a neat finished run.

Installed in

Typically installed in basements, service rooms, commercial tenant spaces, workshops, and utility areas. Final strap spacing and support intervals must follow the applicable Canadian Electrical Code and local inspection requirements.

Why this product exists

EMT needs mechanical support to stay secure, protected, and code-compliant. This strap provides a straightforward way to anchor conduit to the building structure while keeping the run organized and reducing movement at the mounting point.

Compared with similar products

Compared with a 1-hole strap, a 2-hole strap typically offers a more balanced hold and can be easier to keep aligned on flat surfaces. Compared with stainless or coated straps, standard steel straps are commonly chosen for general indoor work where extra corrosion protection is not required.
