An angle pull box has one 2-inch raceway and one 1-inch raceway entering the same wall, with conductors turning 90 degrees. What is the minimum distance from that wall to the opposite wall?
a.24 inches
b.12 inches
c.16 inches
d.13 inches
Explanation
For angle pulls the distance is six times the trade size of the largest raceway plus the sum of the diameters of the other raceways on the same wall: (6 x 2) + 1 = 13 inches. The 12-inch answer forgets to add the additional raceway, and 24 inches applies the straight-pull factor of eight.
