7. Packaging
Straight conduit shall be furnished in 10 ft sections,
unless specified otherwise on the purchase order.
Master bundles shall be secured with at least two bands

8. Shipping
Conduit may be delivered on enclosed, covered, or
flatbed trucks. If conduit is delivered on a flatbed truck,
conduit shall be side-loaded.
Because Washington State law requires a 10 inch
minimum side board when driving a forklift or pallet jack
onto the bed of a truck or trailer, most flatbed trucks or
trailers must be side-loaded to ease off-loading.
