[QUOTE="scramp, post: 4366683, member: 51142"] Normal max fill by code is 40%. Sounds like it’s pretty empty, but individual conductors at 40% is really full . More than one 90 bend and it’s a PITA. As a cable assembly the smaller wires are stacked side by side where your cable may be relatively round or flat, depending on the manufacturer. If in doubt and if you can you can run it through the 10’ sections and then glue them together. The UF jacket is the required cable protection and the PVC is just overkill. If you have sized the cable correctly, I.e.distance vs load, overheating shouldn’t be a concern. [/QUOTE]
