The maximum length of sealtight flexible metallic conduit (also known as flexible metal conduit or FMC) is typically limited to 6 feet for a single run without any fittings, as per the National Electrical Code (NEC). However, longer runs can be accommodated with the use of appropriate fittings and supports. It's essential to check local codes and regulations, as they may impose additional restrictions or requirements.
According to the National Electrical Code (NEC), in a straight run of conduit, you can have a maximum of 360 degrees of bends. Since a 90-degree bend counts as 90 degrees, you can have up to four 90-degree bends in a 70-foot run of conduit. However, if the conduit is longer or includes additional fittings, it's essential to consider the total degree of bends and plan accordingly. Always consult local codes and regulations, as they may have specific requirements.
It depends on the wiring, the current load in the wiring , and the distance. The NEC Code book has the charts for this.And the size of the conduit.

The minimum size you can use is 3/4 conduit. The code allows for a maximum of 4 each # 6 gauge wires in a 3/4 inch pipe. You'll likely be running 3 ea # 6s, two hots and the neutral and a #10 ground wire.
