Cheers wuench,wuench said:I took Electron's advice and bought it at automationdirect.com. I used the 1 1/2" x 1 1/2". I think electron used 1"x1". It's pretty cheap for wiring duct and you don't have to order a 100 pieces like other places. So you could order 1 of each to see which you prefer.
One question if I may. I assume that the duct doesn't fit in the bottom corners of the housing? Are they mounted on the sides and raised slightly?
I know you have use Leviton housings I have Elk ones and 1 1/2" would foul the modules that clip into the bottom....maybe Leviton has more space there?
Thanks and regards,

Sorry Fleetz, looks like I missed this question somehow way back when...
I see no reason why the bottom corners would pose an issue in my cabinet. I didn't take the ducts completely to the bottom because the conduit holes don't quite line up. The ducts on the sides do overlap the cards a bit, so there is some difficulty wiring the first zone of my M1XIN, for example. But since the connectors come off, I just wire it on the connector and slip it in. 1" ducts would not have this issue, but I definitely needed the 1 1/2" for the cat5 for the keypads and between modules. I am actually already getting tight on the ducts around my M1DBH.
Also, I am not sure if you can see it but I have the expansion ring on that cabinet as well. So there is more depth. I had originally intended to put the duct in the leviton expansion ring, and it would have fit, but the face of the cabinet itself would block the ability to get the wire in and out of the duct to the cards.
