Things You'll Need
Conduit supports
Hack saw
Drill
Screws
Electrical conduit provides a barrier between electrical wires and the environment. This keeps the wires protected and people's hands away from the electricity. "Smurf tube" is the nickname for a type of flexible conduit that is blue in color and made from PVC, and "Smurf tube 2" has a diameter of 2 inches. It can be bent with your hands to make the installation a simple project. Be careful to limit the number of bends to a total of 360 degrees in a full run to facilitate the fishing of electrical wire at the end.
Step 1
Determine the starting and ending point of the conduit run. Measure the length of the run with a measuring tape. Transfer this measurement over the the Smurf Tube 2 conduit and mark the location with a marker.

Step 2
Hold the conduit on a solid surface with the marking just over the edge. Cut the conduit at a slight angle with a hack saw. The purpose of the angle is to cut through only one metal ribbon in the tube.
Step 3
Hold the conduit against the wall in the starting location. Fasten it to the wall within 2 feet of the start with a conduit support, screw and drill.
Step 4
Fasten a support to the wall every 3 feet of conduit.
Step 5
Fasten a conduit support within 2 feet of the end of the run.
Warning
Never work around live electrical wires. Always turn the power off at the source before you start your work.
