How many wires can you put in a conduit?
Depends on the size of the conduit and the size of the wire.Allowable Conduit Fill CapacitiesSize and Type Of Conduit #14 Wire #12 Wire #10 Wire 1/2" EMT 12 9 5 3/4" EMT 22 16 10 1" EMT 35 26 16 1 1/2" EMT 84 61 38 1/2" PVC 10 7 4 3/4" PVC 18 13 8 1" PVC 32 23 15 1 1/2" PVC 80 58 36
Why 2 different phase wire are not supposed to pass through same conduit?
According to the wording ,2 different phase wires "can" run through the same conduit. Not only can they, but if they are part of the same circuit they must. And in cases where conductors are paralleled, meaning more than one conductor per phase as is common in commercial and industrial installations, you put one conductor of each phase and a neutral, if one exists, and a ground in each conduit. Not doing so, meaning to put all of one phase in one conduit, causes a voltage to be induced into the conduit and a tremendous amount of heat builds up. Even when using pvc or other non-metallic conduit, somewhere along the way you have something metallic and have the same problem. To simplify, you must put all conductors associated with the same circuit in the same conduit.
When is it permissible to wire tie a wire to a conduit?
What kind of wire? If it's a power wire, why is the place wired with conduit? Commercial buildings must put all power wiring in conduit, so if you're planning to run romex in a commercial building, the answer would be "no", it's not permissible. If it's data wire, note that there may be some "crossover" interference if the data wire follows a power wire for very much distance. It's usually not a problem to cross a conduit and tie to it, but it's generally recommended that you not tie data cable to conduit.
What is the largest wire size I can use to fit a 1 14 conduit?
This depends on how many wires you need to put through the conduit. Typically you would figure out what size wire you need to handle a given load, and then find the smallest conduit you could possibly put those wires in. I'd actually need to know what type of conduit, also. Size your wire first, then your conduit. If you don't know how to size your wire, call an electrician. If you do it wrong you will start a fire. Once you've got your wire size, NEC Table C1 for EMT or C2 for PVC should head you in the right direction. ----If you do not understand the work well enough to accomplish it yourself properly and safely, don't try it. Consult a professional electrician, as they are proficient enough to do it properly and safely. When working on electrical circuits and equipment, make sure to de-energize the circuit you will be working on. Then test the circuit with a definitive means to make sure it is off (multimeter with metal tipped leads, voltage tester with metal tipped leads, etc., not a non-contact tester, which is non-definitive.)

How do you put a 2 inch piece of condiut inside a half inch piece of conduit without altering the size of the conduit in any way?
It is easy to put a 2-inch long piece of conduit that is less than half an inch in any cross-sectional measure into a half-inch conduit.

What wire is used for outdoor?
It's called UF wire it's usually gray and comes in sizes like Romex wire. 12-2, 12-3, etc. Or you can buy SOW wire which is like power cord but that is only legal for temporary use. Still the best way to run wire outside is to put it in electrical pipe. UF cable is U for underground. It is not appropriate to use in exposed applications. However, this is one place even electricians will make exceptions to the code, though I cannot advise you to do so. When following the code you will never be able to reach out and touch a wire or the jacket of a non-metallic cable. Conduit should be used. PVC conduit is handy and will take paint nicely. Type MC cable is also acceptable. The purpose is to protect the wire or cable from physical damage.
Why should phase and neutral wire be put together in the metal conduit?

Can electrical wiring be on ground in crawlspace?
No, electrical wiring should not be placed on the ground in a crawlspace. It should be properly installed and secured to walls or studs to prevent damage and reduce safety hazards. Wiring on the ground can be exposed to moisture, debris, and pests, which can lead to potential electrical issues.

Can you put pool furniture inside the pool?
Pool furniture is made for deck, poolside or patio use, and not usually thought of as items you actually place inside the pool. Inside the pool furniture might include inflatables or items made from PVC and waterproof materials. blog.poolfurnituremart.com
