Wiremold for outdoor use?
I need to extend an 110V outdoor outlet box for 10 feet horizontally and 8
feet vertically along the outside of my house. This is for security
lighting. The outside of the house is stucco. The inside is 16" studs and
wallboard.
Can I use wiremold or do I need to use conduit, which would be unsightly.
Any other suggestions?
*Cut a 10' long 5" wide channel in the inside wallboard and drill out each
stud. Wallboard is easier to patch and paint. Wiremold is not rated for
outdoor use, though I have seen it used outdoors. It rusts.
Run conduit underground 10' and then mount a weatherproof box down low.
Come out of the back of the box into the wall and fish your wire up the
wall.
