Run wire from basement to garagae attic.

I would like to have 2 15 amp circuits and 2 20 amp circuits in the garage. I recently installed a motion sensored security light in the back of my house. Secure the cable to the overhead joists with cable staples. I am in need of some help choosing the correct wire for my detached garage.

I replaced an old flood. From inside the basement pull the cable all the way to the main electrical panel. On the first floor run wires up the wall from the basement. From inside the basement pull the cable all the way to the main electrical panel.

Rigid conduit with an outside diameter of 3 4 in and a fish tape long enough to reach through the buried pipe. While one person holds the flashlight the other person should use a staple gun to run the wire along the rafters from one entry hole to the other. Secure the cable to the overhead joists with cable staples. The staple gun should be loaded with wire staples designed for holding the size and type of wire you are running.

On the second floor run wires down the wall from the attic. My plan is to create a run from my main panel in my basement to the detached garage. Go outside and lay the cable into the trench running it all the way to the garage. Go outside and lay the cable into the trench running it all the way to the garage.

To run the wires inside rigid conduit you ll need a hacksaw a pipe bender capable of bending 1 2 in. Bring all of the wire up into the attic. The total length of the run is about 80 feet. At the garage repeat steps 3 through 7 to install the plastic conduit and cable.

To add lights and outlets you could spend days crawling around your attic and snaking wire through walls. My home was built in 1941. If you have a rigid line then you can open up one wall on second floor to drill to attic and first and then drill up to first from basement. If you have access to your basement crawl space and attic you should be able to run wires without having to cut patch any drywall.

At home centers you ll find a variety of pvc fittings that let you turn corners and run the conduit exactly where. When necessary use existing ducts or pipe runs to get wires from the attic into the basement.
