I'll use some large 1" conduit, it will be excessive, but for the short run I need will be worth the price and security.. thank you all for your input, I truly appreciate it. | |

As I mentioned if their is limited space I use UF because it is easier and I have to purchase the UF but always have conduit and thhn/thwn on hand. This is 2 points for UF even though it is a bugger to feed through the pipe. | |

Some are round and some are flat , the flat being more common is a real bugger with 4 wires. 1/2” no way even 3 wire. If the op has what I have it will be much easier depending on crawl space. You won’t find me running conduit under my house barely enough room for a young skinny man. | |
