    3/4" or 1" EMT
    My ongoing project;

    Small subpanel in attached garage- feeders will be #6 THHN copper and eqpt. Gnd. #10 THHN copper. Per Table C.1, 3/4" EMT will take four #6 THHN. The run will have two 90 degree bends and a total length of approximatley 23 ft.

    From and "ease of pull" standpoint will I have any trouble with the 3/4", or should I move up to the 1" EMT? Thanks

    3/4" maybe fine, and depending on the Load, you might be able to Safely get away with 2 #6's, and 2 #10's(1 Neutral and 1 ground)

    Strat,

    I was thinking that also, the load in general won't be great, lights and some power tools, but I will have a true 5HP compressor on the set up, so I'm not really keen on using a reduced neutral.
