What happens here

The primary goal for the sump pump line is to run it from the main electrical panel in the garage to the basement, without damaging the finished basement ceiling. The strategy involves routing the 1/2 inch PVC conduit outside the house, running it up the exterior wall, and then into the attic. From the attic, the line will be dropped down into the basement. The video shows two electricians, Ken and Jon, working on the exterior installation, including pulling wires through the conduit. Duct seal is applied to the PVC LB (conduit body) holes to ensure no bugs or weather can get into the house.

Goal: Create a secure and code-compliant exterior pathway for the sump pump's electrical line.

Tools and materials

  • 1/2 inch PVC Conduit — Housing and protecting the electrical wires for the sump pump
  • Duct Seal — Sealing conduit entry points to prevent water and pest intrusion
  • Ladder — Accessing the upper parts of the exterior wall and attic entry points
  • PVC LB — Changing the direction of the conduit run while allowing wire pulling
