Greetings most educated ones....
I have a run for two 120v 15a GFIB protected receptacles that comes out of the main, through the wall (22 inches) exits the structure, comes down the exterior wall (5ft) enters the trench and goes 50 ft to the first receptacle then an 40 more feet to termination at a 120v receptacle.
So far I have the following; out of the main with ENT to LB conduit body via threaded PVC adapter. So here are my questison
1. I need to go out of the conduit body straight for 2ft then 4ft down into the trench. Can I use liquid tight to come out of the LB make the curve down and then tie into my Rigid Metal Conduit run with a 90 deg RMC Sweep. Or do I have to us RMC out of the LB and cut and bend it. (the problem here is no bender (yet!, but perhaps I can get a kitchen pass to go get one)
2. I was thinking 14 awg THHN/THWN (black, white, green) is this right or should I use 12?
3. Since I have the GFIB is there any adddional protection afforded by putting in GFI recpetacles or does that not improve safety in any way.
Thank you o' knowledgeable ones.....DIY AL
