Converting a walk in closet into a divine art studio.
Conduit from attic to closet.
Candice olson creates a one of a kind hideaway for a busy creative mom.
I am thinking i could simply stuff some insulation into the open end of the conduit in the attic around the cables to cut down on airflow.
How to cool a hot attic.
Back to top top.
Not sure if i should use a harder pvc pipe or flexible tubing for it though.
Face the threaded end of the conduit when you make this bend not the end with the coupling.
The boxes connectors and conduit form a wire enclosure system called a raceway.
If you are at all handy you should be able to put this conduit in before the walls are closed with 20 of materials.
Special connectors are used to secure conduit to boxes and to join lengths of conduit together to form long straight runs or bends.
Getting 40 cables from the attic to the closet is a bit of a challenge.
Since there are no threads on the end of the pipe screw a compression fitting into the lb and connect the conduit to it.
I will terminate the conduit once i get to an accessible point in the attic and just run the wires in the open from there.
That could be removed temporarily any time i want to run another cable.
Not an ideal solution but my plan was to put some conduit down through the ceiling allowing me to seal around the pipe.
A conduit running basement to attic through the closet wall in the master bedroom still leaves a lot of work going into the attic to drop cables down walls 3 rooms away isn t fun.
Mark the conduit and cut it with a hacksaw.
Assuming you have attic access to all the rooms below i e you can drill into any wall top plates from the attic it should make later installs pretty easy.
Conduit always terminates at some type of electrical box or at fixed equipment that also serves as a box.
