I have ran conduit above ground along a perimeter 8 ft. wall and wanted to know if i have to attach the conduit to the wall? It is out of the way and will not be an issue the way it sits now.

I did it above ground because of sewer lines below. Southern California area and city has already approved plans but before i call for inspection i want everything perfect.

It cannot just lay on the ground. It either needs to be buried or secured to the wall.

What type of conduit?

Yes it needs to be secured to the wall properly. If plastic Schedule 40, it will break very easy if someone tries to stand on it, let alone after years being in the heat and sun.

It's schedule 40. I am going to paint it to try and preserve it a little. Wish I could have buried it but not possible.

I believe I need to secure it to the wall every 3 ft. and within 3 ft. if it is coming in or out of a box/outlet. Is this correct?

Schedule 80 stands up a lot better to abuse. Make sure you lightly sand it, then place plastic to protect the wall, before spray painting it with a Primer. The Red Krylon Primer works really well. Then you can use a Sponge brush. Just make sure to keep the brush wet, so that you do not see brush strokes.

You don't give a lot of credit to inspectors...
