thanks. :thumbup:

that makes sense. I don't see me hitting 60 amps continuous. I have 1 inch conduit that was installed by the previous homeowner, so right now 6 gauge is what I will have to use. I eek check voltage after install, and if need be drop to a 50 amp breaker.

I'm not about to argue with either one of you, but i dont understand how these are so far apart. I'm sure its not something that can be explained in detail in a forum, but if i can get the cliff notes. Thanks.

Thanks for the help guys.

thats where i get confused, at 80 feet one way its calling for 4 ga. or is that only if its a continuous 60 amp load?

Thanks guys. Yes it is copper, about 75-80 foot run.

couldnt find anything using search function..... at what distance does voltage drop become an issue for 6 gauge wire on a 60 amp circuit come into play? thanks

Thanks for the info. I seem to always mispeak on the seperation wall.

noone?

Anyone use Rapidair regulators? I just bought a new compressor and was looking at these since they are rated for 175 psi. TIA Chris

Bringing this back up, as i am slowly getting around to wiring my garage. AHJ deems the garage attached, soo my plan is once the conduit is in the garage, surface mount it and run it to the rear wall of the garage into the subpanel. That way i do not need to do any major work to the fire rated...

Another thought, how are you guys mounting pvc lb's? are you drilling the hole the o.d. of the body, so it sits tight to the wall, or just the o.d. of the pipe so that you have to install and offset to put the pipe back to the wall?

good deal, thanks.

Is there a limit on the amount of lb conduit bodies you can have in a run? im trying to lay out my conduit and i am looking at 5 in about a 70 foot run. thanks Chris

It doesnt mount in the wall, it's mounted to the wall surface to act as a j channel for the siding, and the electrical box.

Hmm.....i used these, looks like ill be a changing wire. good to know.

so anything going from inside the wall to an outside light fixture or outlet needs to be uf?

no i dont, easiest way i can explain it is out of the house in a conduit lb, right into the porch wall. the wire would only be outside for the size a 1/2 lb plus maybe 4 inches of conduit.

in order to get wire from my panel to my enclosed porch, i have to go out of the house literally the length of a conduit body and then into the porch. so just to make this 6-8 inch jog, is uf required since its outside for that little bit? or can i legally get away with nm cable? thanks

not different angles, different setbacks. the front wall attaches the two, the rear wall comes off the house then over to the garage, if that makes sense. front wall to rear wall is approx 15 ft.,also the front and rear rooflines have different pitches.
