What is the required distance for securing flexible conduit from a junction box?

The requirement for securing flexible conduit from a junction box is 12 inches. This regulation ensures that the conduit is adequately supported and does not droop or sag, which can lead to potential damage or hazards over time. Securing the conduit at this specified distance helps maintain the integrity of electrical installations, ensuring that the electrical wires inside are protected and that the installation complies with safety standards. The regulation reflects a balance between providing sufficient support to prevent mechanical stress on the conduit while allowing for flexibility necessary in certain installation scenarios.
