Flexible Conduit Is there one that is split to encase wires that are already
Establish. Or must you rewire from the beginning.and use a series of elbow. Or is there another protective wrap for outdoor wiring in the marketplace?

No, there is no split flexible conduit available for line voltage wiring.

Even if there was, you would still need new connectors or fittings at each end.

Simpler to pull out the wiring and replace the flexible conduit.

If you can provide a photo of what your trying to repair, may help us help you.

Yes the outdoor fixture is working perfectly . Except one place they are not lined up
They are off center about are 3 inches. I guess I will have to rework this area.

Pastor,

While you cannot exceed 4 90 degree turns when pulling cable through conduit there are other factors. For example, the conductors inside the conduit may require a minium of 5" bending radius. That could be the reason for the differeance in the placement of the fixture being "Out of place".

Please send us a picture before you rework anything.

It was my fault the piping was original for a outdoor lantern. The 911 gang box is align to that.
Later I decided on putting a outdoor outlet with a snap cover to repel the weather elements
But now the gang box is 4" off center.It is not align in a straight run . I would have to use two elbows for the piping to go into the gang box straight. It has been working perfectly. But I would like to get the wires in the conduit . Otherwise I would have to have a separate gang box just for two wires just for the outdoor outlet.
