Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Check your local building code, conduit is probably not needed
I think the idea is to run conduit now, so they can just feed the cabling into the conduit in the future after the walls are closed up, even if they're not required to run in conduit
It's probably not required, but wouldn't it be easier for future runs to just go down a pipe vs blind feeding it/using a snake through a wall?
Rather than buying the conduit, the tools, the fittings that you would need to install conduit just buy A spool of cat 60 and run more than you need that would be cheaper and much less work since it’s just drilling a hole andpushing it through
Or, run some smaller gauge wire with the cat5 so that you can use it later to pull more through easily. (The wire you pull through later should also have some small gauge wire attached, for the next time)
Not needed but really nice. You don't know what you will want in 10 years. Conduit will be there and the low voltage stuff is cheap.
