How to Run Cable Through A Conduit

Running wire through conduit can be a little tricky and in this article I will explain how to do it with little to no hassle. The biggest reason for running wire through conduit is to get electricity outside or somewhere that needs for the wires to be protected more than normal. Laying
�out the conduit and digging a trench in the ground (if necessary) is actually the easy part of this job. Check out my article "How To Install Conduit" and it will give you a step by step process to get to the point of running the cable. Once you have your conduit installed and you know where the fixture you are running the wire to, you are ready to start running the cable.Always when dealing with electricity you must think safety first. You never know when someone might flip on the power that you have turned off, or maybe you just forgot to turn the power off all together, whatever the case is, turn the power off and put a note on the power source telling everyone that the power is off for a reason. In the case of running new wire there is already a safety measure you can use. If you simply start to run the cable from the outdoors toward the fixture, you know that there is no electricity running through the wire. When you are ready to get started running the wire and the conduit is laid out correctly, remove the cover of the LB fitting. The LB fitting is simply the connection from the house to the outside, it basically protects the wire from any rubbing between the walls. Now you are ready to start running the wire.How to Run Cable Through A Conduit
