[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 527264, member: 250"] Just to add to my earlier comments you probably need to find better sources of guidance.. What you do need to do is ensure your choice of cable is suitable for any applicable "External Influences".. e.g. Movement, Mechanical damage, Water, Excessive heat, Chemicals, Sunlight, Plants, Animals... etc.. etc.. Providing the electrical integrity of your cable choice will not be impaired during its expected working lifespan, then conduit may or may not be a useful solution... REMEMBER.. a cable running along a wall less than 1metre from the ground could be susceptible to different "External Influences" than a cable run 6metres from the ground... And a wall that gets little or no direct sunlight is also different to a wall that has several hours of mid-day peak sunlight during summer months!! Appropriate cables / flexes can be clipped direct to external walls... But you need to do your site assessments and cable selection correctly for the best results. [/QUOTE]
