Conduit Fill Calculator

Calculate raceway fill for power, low-voltage, communications, and security cables and identify the minimum listed conduit size that meets the selected fill limit.

Raceway and Conductors

Select the conduit, then add power conductors, low-voltage wire, communications cable, or custom cable diameters.

Calculated Results

The allowable percentage changes automatically with conductor count.

This tool uses 53% for one cable or conductor, 31% for two, and 40% for three or more. Cat5e, Cat6, coaxial, and security-cable values are based on representative outside diameters and can vary materially by manufacturer, shielding, listing, and jacket construction. Use the Custom Cable OD option for manufacturer-specific dimensions. Verify the adopted NEC edition, cable listing, raceway dimensions, cable-bending limits, pulling requirements, derating, firestopping, separation rules, and local authority requirements before construction.
