What happens here

The metal clad cable coming from the basement needs to transition to the exterior PVC conduit. This is achieved using an 'LB' (conduit body), which is an L-shaped fitting that allows the cable to change direction and emerge from the wall into the 3/4-inch PVC conduit. At this transition point, the 6/2 metal clad cable is spliced to individual conductors of '#6 THHN wire,' which stands for 'Thermoplastic High Heat Resistant Nylon' wire. The THHN wires are then pulled through the PVC conduit to the location of the car charger unit.

Goal: Safely transition the interior metal clad cable to exterior THHN wire within the PVC conduit.

Tools and materials

  • #6 THHN Wire — The specific type of wire run through the PVC conduit to the charger, designed for high heat resistance and outdoor use
  • 3/4-inch PVC Conduit — Housing the THHN wire from the LB conduit body to the EV charger
  • 6/2 Metal Clad Cable — The interior wiring that connects to the THHN wire at the transition
  • Drill — Drilling a hole through the wall for the LB conduit body
  • Electrical Tape — Providing additional insulation and protection for wire splices
  • LB Conduit Body — Facilitating the transition of wiring from inside the wall to the exterior PVC conduit
  • Wire Nuts/Connectors — Securely joining the metal clad cable to the THHN wires
