Questions & Answers
Is the conduit good for exterior use? We have an exterior light that we want to tap into this connection and run around the corner of the building to add a 2nd light fixture. Of course we would add a 2nd junction box. Thanks!
1/2 x 25 ft. Flexible Aluminum Conduit. The National Electric Code Article 348 regulates how and where flexible conduit can be used. The code does not distinguish between interior and exterior, but between wet and dry locations. The code does not allow flexible conduit to be used in a wet location. A wet location in this instance would be defined as an area subject to saturation with water or in unprotected areas subject to weather.
Will this connect to a 1 gang 12 cu. in. electrical handy box?
Yes, just will need to purchase the correct size flex connector for the K/O size on your handy box. ie; 1/2"
Will this conduit hold the same quantity of wires as an 1/2 in. EMT?
Do you have a fill chart for this conduit?
Fill chart would be in the NEC handbook
it says "Suitable for exposed and concealed locations use". So then in NYC is it OK to run along the surface of a wall or ceiling of my basement, assuming it's not in a place where it can be easily damaged?
Yes per the NEC code 350 . Suitable for wet location and connections for cabinets and wire outlets. Product must be secured 10" from box then every 18" per code.
Example: I have looked at the manual and can't figure out what I did wrong.
Yes, use the 1/2" flex connectors avail at Home Depot
Hello Lox, I’m Chris from the Home Depot’s how-to Community. Thank you for your question. You would use ½” flexible metal conduit connectors. These are common and easy to find. I am not sure what you mean by “standard” fittings, but connectors for thin metal emt conduit or ridged conduit will not work. I hope this helps, Chris. .
What tools can be used to cut flexible aluminum conduit?
Bend the flex by hand, it will separate, use some standard diagonal wire cutters or tin snips. I've used that method for years
There are two options for cutting flex conduit. You can use a hacksaw, but be sure to file any sharp edges so you do not knick the building wire when fishing through the armor. The second option is using a cable cutter and I attached two cutters that Home Depot stocks: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Klein-Tools-BX-and-Armored-Cable-Cutter-53725/203872308 http://www.homedepot.com/p/Ideal-Sir-Nickless-Armored-Cable-Cutter-35-782/203761573?MERCH=REC-_-NavPLPHorizontal1_rr-_-NA-_-203761573-_-N
I use a vise and reciprocating saw. Works well.
What type of electrical 1/2" conduit that I can fasten to the exterior home to run electric line for my sprinkler pump
Schedule 40 or PVC
We would recommend that you check the NEC Code for your area or with your local inspector, as codes and stadard vary by region in the Unisted States. Thank you.
