Wrenches, Short of contacting the builder, i'm looking for your experiences,
practices and "look-out's" for penetrating a strawbale exterior wall with
conduit.
For the project in question there is currently a teck cable from a wind gen
entering the home by sharing a HRV vent opening that i want to fix (not my
original system by the way) and i will also be adding another penetration for a
PV array that i am relocating on the property. The original penetration for the
PV was done properly but its not in an ideal location for the re-located array
wiring.
I'm wondering if it is as simple as using a hole saw extension to go thru the
~16" wall and use an LB/box on either side. I'm sure there is some framework
and/or rebar supporting the bales, how do you locate/avoid these when there are
no corners to measure from? (it is a round home) Any knowledge if PVC or EMT
will react in anyway with the bales? I'm thinking that PVC would be best....?
... i am trying to contact the builder to address this, and also to ask a few
choice questions regarding the wiring methods (he?) used in the original PV
system set-up.
Cheers,benn
