Abstract
Disclosed is a split conduit for separating line and low voltage wiring, wherein two wire or cable types are supported and do not interfere with one another along the conduit length. The conduit includes a rounded outer wall forming an enclosed cross section, wherein a partition is provided within the interior of the conduit that runs along its length to create a first and second pathway. The outer surface of the conduit is discretely marked based on line or low voltage, allowing a user to distinguish what wire type is in each pathway and to locate the partition without inspecting the wires or looking into the interior of the conduit. The split conduit is adapted to be connected to a split meter socket box having a divider for separating connection types, wherein wires from corresponding conduit chambers can be oriented appropriately to establish electrical connectivity within the meter box.
