I put a pdf file on my website which shows my current thinking about making an HTTN run through conduit. Evidentally, Rigid (EMT) is a better choice than Flexible Metal Conduit. BTW, the EMT that is not vertical will be on the ceiling; my SketchUp skills still need more work. Please take a peek:
- How is the weight of the vertical piece of EMT supported? It seems that there would be quite a bit of weight on the switch box on the bottom as I don't think the typical clamps that I've seen are designed to prevent the EMT from sliding underneath them. Maybe I need special clamps, extra support for the switch box, or something else?
- I assume, that to attach the 2nd box (the one on the wall), that the end of the EMT (bent at 90 degrees) is pushed through a hole, connected to the box (with a screw-type connector) and then the box is screwed to the stud through the wall. Please correct me if I am missing anything here.
At least I came up with a way to avoid working at the top-plate near the eave (which I could not figure out how to deal with)!!! Thank you for your patience!

P.S. Doug taught me a little about LL (and LB,LR) conduit body connectors. These do not seem to make sense here unless you're want to run the wire before you finish the drywall. No one would use one of those in this model, would they?
