    Code question solar conduit "end cap" and interior rules

    Depending on your jurisdiction: 1. Connect rain-tight 3/4 EMT connector. 2. Thread into 3/4" rigid coupler (threaded coupler) 3. Thread a 3/4 metallic strain relief into the coupler. The only caveat is that you can only get 1 conductor per pipe.

    Sump Pump Check Valve

    The air chamber needs to be sealed. I've used female pipe threaded cleanouts for this purpose. My setup is in a 4' deep sump, and goes from the check valve to the bottom of the lid (approx. 24")

    Floor slab thickness

    Agree completely on the engineer. I have a One ton truck and don't want it in the "basement". Like I said, just attempting a material take off to assist in budget generation.
