Conduit routing advice needed

[Tracy]

The OP's post has the purple walls and appears to be a conventional stick built wall with sheetrock. Nobody runs conduit on the outside of interior floor moulding in New England (NY, CT, VT, MA, RI, ME presumably). They should just open up the wall and put the conduit or romex out of sight.

The OP didnt say the wire size or the distance - both of which are pretty critical to keep from burning up the compressor motor.

You are correct, I didn't see the first images, I saw the ones in the second post.

Total wire length is 45 feet breaker to plug. 220 volt 30 Amp so 10/2 wire.

Opening the wall is not an option since a lot of it is old wood that I cannot replace. About 8 feet of total conduit will be used.

If you really want to you could external mount BX cable,,,
smaller than conduit, maybe, but still will look tacky,
Is there no basement or crawl space?

 

[formernuke]

Most of the wire is going through the basement.

Never read so much Bull @#$%@&$%& so why don't you all piss off

I'm in a garage by the way with equipment you wouldn't have a clue about

and who gives a @#$%^& about where he runs it and your ideas about asthetics

as long as he runs it right



It's going to be beautiful when I pack up and move house, almost like heaven but not really

Would look into running the conduit on the outside of the house. Out the bottom of your panel, right angle through the exterior wall. Right angle along the bottom of your siding. Then right angle through the rim joist and into the basement. Remember you can't have more the 360degs of turns before having a opening to pull your fish tape through.

Because if formernuke does a non-standard way of running conduit through a living space - even if it meets code - people don't expect that and it negatively affects the value of the house.

I would run romex if you can get under the walls and the whole run is covered, BX if its all dry, teck90 if you cross wet areas and there are no sharp 90 bends and no future sockets are planned to be added . Conduit will be the last last option on my list

When it's time to sell I can very easily remove it. Very easy and just a couple screw holes to patch. Easy peasy.
