sharing conduit [RE-wrenches]

[Bill Brooks]

Nicholas,

How about running a listed cable assembly (MC) in the 2". I believe hat
gives you the barrier you are looking for since the power conductors are
enclosed in the cable assembly. I would clear it with your local
jurisdiction before I made any assumptions, however.
