What happens here

Once the 10-gauge wire exits the basement to the exterior, install 1/2-inch PVC conduit to protect the wiring. The conduit run will start from the basement exit point, run along the exterior foundation or siding, around any corners, and eventually terminate at an entry point into the garage. Utilize appropriate PVC conduit fittings such as elbows and LB conduit bodies to navigate changes in direction and transition points. Secure the conduit to the exterior wall using conduit straps at regular intervals.
