    Adequate conduit size for range and water heater wire
    I want to place pvc conduit in walls that I am going to close up with drywall. The jobsite is a detached garage, into an apt. previously unfinished. I would like to have the conduit in wall so when I get to the point where I can afford the appliances and conductor I can move forward. There will be approximately 40' runs, with 3- 90's from the panel. What would be an adequate conduit size for me to pull wire (#10, #6 )as easily as possible, by hand , by neophyte, strong back, weak mind? Thanks, Ken
