[QUOTE="Ahall, post: 4366549, member: 49426"] There is a maximum number of conductors allowed in a conduit, based on gage and amperage. If your worried about pulling the bundle through, you probably have too many. The deal is if you fill it, all that electrical insulation also holds in heat from the resistance in the wire. If you pull enough amps on a hot day, the insulation gets too hot and over time bad things happen. It's your property, and I won't tell you how to run your life, but if you overstuff the conduit and burn it to the ground, don't come whining about all the guns you lost [/QUOTE]
