I'm getting close to fastening down the baggage floors, but I'd like to get all the conduit ran from the 1006B bulkhead, under the floors, and up into the side channels.

What conduit has been the fan favorite and what size seems to be the standard?

I like the idea of flex conduit, but don't know of a source for it.

Also, what's the proper way to fasten it to the airframe?

Thanks,
Phil

Phil, I just ran 1/2" or 5/8" black drip system pipe. It's light, cheap, and protects the wiring. Drill the right size hole, install the right size grommet and it's good to go. Even install an extra.

Hi Phil,
I used Van's flexible conduit with mixed feelings. Here is a link to how I did it:http://www.aviationstop.com/search/label/Electrical

More info on using Van's conduit. This is extracted from the routing wires in the wings FAQ:

"This hole may be up to 3/4” diameter to accommodate our wiring
conduit (DUCT NT 5/8-50).... . The conduit is light and flexible. It’s .810 “ outside diameter means that when snapped into place, the corrugations hold it from slipping out. If using the conduit, a dab of fuel tank sealant or RTV should be put on the conduit at each rib to prevent the conduit from being cut through over time from vibrations."

Whatever method you decide to go with don't forget to add a pull string.

This is what I am doing this weekend. (chapter 33-5). I visited Lowe's electrical section and purchased 100ft of flexible PVC 3/4" diameter.contractor conduit for $31.00. It's light weight and UL listed. And I tried to light the stuff with a BIC lighter to test it resistance to fire. As soon as I removed the flame the fire went out. test passed. The picture is only partly completed I have to add A-dell clamps on each of the conduits.

Any of the electronic/electrical supply houses will sell flexible conduit by the foot.  I got mine from Anixter.  I ran the standard Van’s .75” to the comm antenna under the rear seats, then one .75” and a 1.25” on each side to the tailcone.   I used adel clamps to secure the conduit.

If you need to get a pull-string through the conduit, tie a small piece
of cloth to the end and stick it in the conduit. Put your shop vac on
the other end of the conduit and turn it on to suck the string through
the conduit. Really works well. I've seen pull-strings with a tag on
the end ..... for each wire that's going into the conduit. If you plan
well, you can pull a couple of wires at a time, and do the shop vac
thingy for the wires you forgot.

Blue smurf conduit from homo depot. I ran mine sideways through the ribs so it wouldn't ruin the structural integrity of the rear wing spar bulkhead.
