Subject - chase
fdk479 can i run conduit up a chase that has an existing water riser already in that chase ( 1" conduit- 3/4" water pipe)
lctrc789 You are asking can you run a 1" conduit up a chase that has a water pipe in a residential attic or opening for future use?
Yes you can do this, but always check the local codes some localities are very stringent.
IMO, I wish more contractors would install chases or conduits for future use in attics for easy access or even crawl spaces for easy access a 1" minimum would be great in many cases.
jagerbombme if the water pipe is copper keep them apart from touching. as dissimaliar metals against copper corrode.
