We are finishing our basement, and it is a new home, with the outside basement walls "formed" to look like brick, we are leaving the outside walls as they are (painted of course). The interior new walls are drywall. For the walls that are the formed concrete, we'd like to add some outlets. Can we use flexible conduit to run to the enclosed boxes, or do we need to use the rigid conduit? We are in Ohio (don't know if code might be different in other states). Thank you!

Most flexible conduit/tubing can be of unlimited lenght if a ground conductor is run inside. I would not recommend it though. I'd use EMT thinwall conduit or PVC sch80. __________________ Sometimes I feel like if I answer any more questions it is like someone trying to climb over a fence to jump off a bridge and me giving them a boost.
