Posted: Sat Mar 15, 2008 6:14 pm Post subject: Wiring Conduit

I am running the Van's corrugated plastic conduit for the  wiring in my wings.  I plan to cut the tube out in the bay with the bell  crank so I can locally route wiring for the nav and landing lights, heated  pitot, etc.  My question is: what are people are doing to protect the  wires from rubbing against the edge of the tubing and cutting them?  Not  only will I have that potential in the bell-crank bay, but also at the wing root  and tip.  Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance for any  help!

I used silicone dabs on the lightening holes edges and also spiral wrap on the wires themselves.

Doug,

  

 If I understand your question correctly  your asking what keeps the wires from wearing away the corrugated plastic.  

  

 There really should not be any movement  of the wires inside the plastic, the wires will just be sitting there. It isn't  as if the wires will be doing a sawing or a rubbing back and forth movement. You  could secure the wires at either end to stop and movement that does occur from  vibration I suppose. 

  

 The automotive and trucking industry use  those plastic conduits to run wires in and I have never seen wires cut holes in  them or them cut holes in wires. 

  

 For an experiment take a piece of wire  and rub it hard back and forth over some of that conduit and see what it takes  to rub through either.

  

 Oh and Doug that was a good question.  Don't put do not archive on the good ones.
