Yes. If they are single wires they need to be in a conduit.
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.
You can pull 10 #3 gauge wires in a 2 1/2" conduit.
Cleat wiring is exposed while in conduit wiring the wires are well protected inside tubes/pipes.

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.

Yes. If they are single wires they need to be in a conduit.
Approximately 9-10 18AWG wires can fit in a 2 inch conduit, depending on the type of insulation on the wires and the specific requirements of the installation. It's always advisable to consult the National Electrical Code (NEC) or local regulations for specific guidelines on conduit fill capacity.
The simple answer to your question is yes. But there are limits to how many wires can be in any conduit, and the current carrying capacity of the conductors can be affected by distance, ambient temperature, and how many conductors are contained in the same conduit. Other things to consider are, Can you physically fit the wires in there? Would it be easier to run a new conduit? Do you have the manpower necessary to get the work done?
16 current carry conductors
You can fit approximately 9 number 12 THHN wires into a half inch conduit. It's important to follow the National Electrical Code rules for conduit fill to ensure proper installation and safety.
In the first part of the question there will be only one wire in the conduit, in the second part of the question there will be two wires in the conduit.
The size of conduit is based on the size of the wires in it. The size of the wires depends on the load connected in the house. Without these other two values an answer can not be given.
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.
