Am if correct in saying that you cannot use conduits as a location for splices? if you wanted to make a splice in a conduit, you would need to install a splice box and then make your connections? Thanks
Never is a splice allowed in a raceway or conduit.
Do you have an NEC? It might be usefull to get one, take a look at all of Article 300. By the way Mike Holts Understanding the NEC is a great resource and he has videos to go along with it.
