What is conduit fitting?
Conduit fitting is used on metal pipes that house electrical wires. These fittings are not only to connect the various pieces together, but to keep a relatively water tight seal to the wires.
What size conduit is correct for 10-3 gauge wire?

What is difference between cleat and conduit wiring?
Cleat wiring is exposed while in conduit wiring the wires are well protected inside tubes/pipes.
How many wires are typically accommodated in a PVC conduit according to the "How Many Wires in PVC Conduit" chart?
The "How Many Wires in PVC Conduit" chart typically accommodates up to 9 wires in a PVC conduit.
Can you put low voltage sound wires and low voltage light wires in the same conduit?

How many 12/2 wires can fit in a 3/4 conduit?
In a 3/4 conduit, you can fit up to three 12/2 wires.
Can you put two wires in one conduit and two wires in another conduit of the same circuit?
No, each conduit should only contain wires from the same circuit. Mixing circuits in a conduit can lead to interference and safety hazards. It is always best practice to keep conductors of the same circuit together to prevent potential issues.
