Re: conduit/conductor amount

Could i at least suggest you learn first how arc faults work and are wired.Your going to be spending a lot of time rewiring this if you proceed as you planned.I am originally from PA.i had no idea they required no license.As to how you care to run the wires thats up to you.Having not seen the job it is hard to make that call.Why not simply fish 2 sets of 12-2 romex down the wall or even 3 if that AC is likely.

Re: conduit/conductor amount

thats what i'm considering doing at this point. I'm not famaliar with afci's on a multi circuit, so i'll just run several 12-2's so i know it'll work. thanks for the friendly advice. its not my attic, its a customers, who would rather neat formed pipe versus a labarinth of 1x2'2 or 1'3'3 running/mitered throughout her walkabout attic. the wires are coming up a center partition wall, so to get to the outside walls, i gotta get em there somehow. up to ceiling, over,etc, but the floor made the most sence, as ceiling fans and a few other things are going in as well. sorry about the dirty thing, but if i attacked you, or made fun of you because you didnt know/understand a situation, you would do the same,,,maybe not. i dont take to insults well, but its over as far as i'm concerned. pa has no state licence, just in philly and 1 or 2 other major cities. so u get the permit, and if they like, you pass. i feel alot better with emt versus 1x3, but i do see your point. they are spending the money for a nice job, and understand the multiple junction boxes if i need to dedicate a receptacle. they wont be so happy if i explain in 6 months that i need to make new holes down their freshly wallpapered exterior wall so i can add a dedicated line at that point, all the while smashing in the new dedicated line, plus the cable coming into and out of the recep. box. seems easier to plan for it now. i'm not allowed to put 3 12-2's in a shallow box anyway. i'll watch this board and learn.
