Y junction in wiring conduit

[thomaswimmer]

Hi,

I'm currently putting a nylon wiring conduit (the corrugated one) into my wing. I need to branch off some wires off the conduit. How do you guys do the y junction?
Just a hole and get the wires out?
Glueing a second conduit to the primary one?


Thanks

Thomas

A 3/4" PVC tee worked well for me. Just drill and safetie the PVC fiting to the corrugated conduit so that it does't move.

Just cut a hole in the corrugated tubing then use some shrink wrap, RTV, and/or UHMW tape where the wire comes through the hole. No need to get complicated here, but just my opinion.

Had to do that in my wing for the autopilot servo wires, I hardmounted the conduit to a rib, cut a small slit in the conduit, fished out the appropriate wires, left about an inch of slack and hardmounted them to the rib also on a separate mount before running them to the servo.
