Reddit mentions of LDR 311 CR-34 Galvanized Cross, 3/4-Inch

> How are you going to mount that to the ceiling?

My bad. Not shown in the picture is a 4 way cross connector. This "4 way" cross is in the attic and at the very top of the chandelier piping. All of the chandelier wires come out of the top of this "4 way" cross. On each side of the cross are two, 48 inch 3/4" pipes. Both these pipes run perpendicular to the main supply pipe in my original picture. Furthermore, each of these pipes run through a 1" whole in adjacent rafter beams. So all-in-all there is a large "T" at the top of the chandelier. Through the top of the "T" the wires extrude from the chandelier, and each of the sides of the "T" support the weight of the chandelier, as they are run through the rafter beams. The entire chandelier is incredibly strong. I could literally hang from the chandelier and it would easily carry my weight.

> More importantly, are you just going to stick a bunch of 18 awg or 16 awg wire through a hole in the hot attic in a box and do the connection there?

Yes the plan is to run the wire through the top of the pipe and a foot or two to the terminal enclosure box. My main concern is that foot or two where the wire is exposed. In that span, the 8 ground, 8 18awg white wire, and 8 18 awg black wire will be exposed. Sound like I need to extend my 3/4" pipe directly to the terminal box? And if so, is it ok to just drill a KO whole through my terminal box and feed the iron pipe directly to it?

The attic is part of the conditioned house space. It's not incredible hot.
