What type of wires are you planning on having run through the tube?
Extension cords will need their ends removed to fit through. NM cable should
not be used in locations such as this where they are likely at risk of
damage close to the ground.

I need to make a place for wires to come out of my house from the
basement. The wall is brick so I don't want to drill the brick.
This is my idea. I greated an insert out of wood to fit into the
window (no great loss, it's below grade anyway).
Remember that this is a basement window / insert is below grade in a
square hole.

Using this insert I will drill a hole and install conduit in this
manner:

A horizontal piece inserted through the hole in the insert and
extending about 4 inches or so to the outside.
A 90 degree elbow attached to this outside end, oriented so it streight
up.
A streight piece attached to this elbow vertically and long enough to
extend above grade about 8 inches or so.
Attached to the top of this would be 2 90 degree elbows put together to
forn a 180 degree U shape.
Thos would be installed on top of the vertical bit upsidedown to keep
rain out.

Then the wire would be run through it.

It would look something like:

Do they make these preformed?
Can I use PVC (Not UV resistant)
Use metal pipe (Heavy and overkill for a conduit)
Any better ways to do this?

Thanks.
