Conduit and boxes . . . EMT and metal boxes? PVC conduit and PVC boxes?
PVC conduit & metal boxes?
Will be covering all walls & ceiling in shop with 1/2" plywood. Would use
3/4", but here in Louisiana building materials are high and scarce.
Will insulate walls & ceiling also.Want to surface mount electrical .
lights, receptacles, switches, etc . .
What have you guys used? What works best & is there much difference in
cost.
Have done a lot of residential electrical using ROMEX.
Never fooled with conduit except in an industrial setting . . . . I was an
instrumentation technician ( PetroChem).
Any suggestions as to material or layout appreciated . . . Shop is 20' X
22'
with 10' ceilings . . . . Will be running 115vac & 220vac receptacles.
Shop has it's own meter with 200amp service. I want to surface mount
EVERYTHING . . . . .
Thanks in advance,
Steve


Is there any reason why you dont just cut holes in the plywood and sink your
boxes into the wall?
why run conduit on top of the wall and have the box sticking out?
seems it would be cheaper to just use romex and put it in the walls just
like you would do inside your house if you were using drywall.
