Greetings,
I am helping a church's business office to finish their basement. They are planning to use electric baseboard heaters. As this is considered a commercial space, the wires are to be ran in conduit. I am using 3/4" EMT for this, but how in the world do I go from in the wall into the heater with conduit? In a residential space, you can just run the wire straight through drywall into the heater. But having to use conduit presents some problems. I can't get a full 90 degree bend in a 3.5" space as the take up on 3/4" conduit is 6". The only two options for elbows that I am aware of is either a pull elbow (which would require an access panel) or a terminating elbow for a box (those aren't long enough to get through the drywall). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
