I am finishing two walls in the basement and want to know the best
solution to run conduit feeds to several receptacle boxes on the

Should I run conduit along the ceiling, then place a box and a branch
circuit down each stud-bay to the receptacles on the walls ? * Or
Should I run conduit down the first stud-bay and then sideways
through the studs to the other receptacles ?


Two questions:
1) How do you plan to run conduit sideways through the studs?
2) Why are you planning to use conduit at all?


lol, and I fail to see why several people feel it necessary to over and
over keep asking why the OP wants to use conduit? *You guys may think
you're clairvoyant and see the situation clearly, why doesn't your own
ISP provide the answer to your question?

There are many reasons to run conduit, all of which include advantages
and most of which are the best choices. I suggest some edgeakation to
counter-act some of that ego. *Oh, and the me-too attitude so prevalent
here lately.

Half the basement is already been roughed-in and the electric is in ½
conduit.
I was just trying to match the work that was started. If I were to
use BX between the boxes or between the boxes and boxes mounted on the
ceiling, how long could the lengths be ? I thought you were limited
to 36" ?
