Hi all, doing a few projects around the house and had a few random questions come up:
Is it a code violation to run romex in conduit? I thought I remember a friend saying you could only run THHN or XHHW in conduit. I have to make a few homeruns from electrical panel in my basement up to the attic (ranch house - only 1 floor in between) and I'm considering putting a couple lengths of conduit in the wall (gable wall, non-load bearing) to create a channel for future electrical projects.
Is it a code violation to use regular white schedule 40 pvc for electrical conduit instead of the gray schedule 40 electrical conduit with a female end?
And is there any issues with running coax cable for an HD antenna on the roof in the same conduit as electrical cable? I think I remember reading that that causes disturbances in the data running thru the coax.
Thanks in advance,
JC
