"S Greetings. I'm trying to search for what I need for a small
"S project, but I can't seem to find the right terminology, plus, if
"S I give a description of what I'm doing, possibly you good people
"S will have a better solution.

"S Nearly a year ago I had DirecTV installed, and the installer
"S drilled a hole through the siding in through the drywall to feed
"S in the coax. He explained that with a basic install, nothing
"S fancy can be expected. Well, at the time it wasn't really a
"S problem, even though it's the front of the house. I just removed
"S some large bushes from in front of the house and find that the
"S coax is completely exposed and hanging from the hole that was
"S drilled, across the ground, and runs around the corner of the
"S house to the back where the splitter is. First, it looks ugly,
"S second, anyone who had a malicious thought could snip that coax,
"S and there goes my directv.

"S I don't really want to push the coax back through the sealed hole
"S in order to run it through a conduit, along with some sort of
"S housing that could screw into the siding where the hole is, and
"S I've got the problem solved with flexible split conduit, but
"S can't seem to find a housing or something with a 90 degree angle
"S to place over the hole that can be connected to the flexible
"S conduit. What would something like that be called?

Perhaps look in the Electrical Department for surface mount coverings?
Know there is flat (about 1«" wide by ¬" thick) and round (has a split
byt getting round coax in it may be a challenge). I'm not sure how well
would hold up outside.

Another option might be wooden moldings. Many are hollow. Paint before
installation to seal all surfaces. Pre-drill so won't split during
nailing/screwing into side of house.
