Hi,
I've scoured this forum(it's awesome btw) and have found a lot of my questions answered.
However, I have some basic questions on getting 22/4 cable from my basement up to floors above.
My walls are all finished so the thinking I have is that for window sensors I will drill with one of those flexi bits(auger bits) into the wood frame of the window down between the studs. I will take off the baseboard and cut a small home behind the baseboard and drill another hole from this point down to the floor below and feed the cable down there.
1. The question I have is what size flexi bit should I be looking at for the sensor wire in my window frame to be able to safely pull 22/4 wire through the hole. Should I use the same bit for all the wiring of 22/4 wire?
Also, I have no idea how these flexi bits work. I have searched for some videos and even where to buy them in Canada but have came up with nothing(although flexidrills is a Canadian company!).
2. What angle can I bend these at before breaking?
3. Does the extension piece turn around or is the turning part incased in a plastic shell of some sort?
4. Are they easy to break?
5. For pulling up wire that is multiple floor high, do you suggest fibre glass rods?
6. Where to buy this stuff?
Thanks.
