Project overview
Touchstone Electric completed a code-focused panel and conduit update in Mooresville, NC. On October 9, 2024, our technician Chris Rogers installed a 20A tandem breaker, added new 1/2" liquid-tight flexible conduit, and ran 1/2" PVC conduit with proper fittings. We also carefully fished wire through tight, hard-to-reach spaces to deliver a clean, reliable finish without unnecessary drywall disruption.
This job was serviced by our Charlotte branch (Matthews location) and falls under our Panels & Service Upgrades and Circuit Breaker Repair & Replacement services in the Mooresville area.
Scope of work in Mooresville, NC
- Installed a 20A tandem breaker to provide safe, space-efficient circuit protection.
- Ran 1/2" liquid-tight (sealproof) flexible conduit with the correct connectors, straps, and LBs for a moisture-resistant installation.
- Installed 1/2" PVC conduit with appropriate fittings for durable mechanical protection and a tidy cable path.
- Fished wire through finished areas and tight cavities to avoid unnecessary wall damage and preserve the home’s appearance.
The result is a neat, code-conscious upgrade that improves safety and reliability for small appliance and general branch-circuit needs while optimizing space within the existing panel.
Why tandem breakers and proper conduit matter
A 20A tandem breaker allows two circuits to occupy a single panel space—an effective solution when panel capacity is limited and the panel is listed for tandems in those positions. When paired with professionally installed liquid-tight flexible conduit and PVC conduit, wiring gains enhanced physical and moisture protection along the run. Correct fittings, secure support, and careful transitions at boxes and LBs help maintain system integrity and serviceability.
- Safety: Proper overcurrent protection and mechanical protection for conductors.
- Durability: Conduit and fittings resist moisture and impact where needed.
- Clean finish: Wire fishing techniques minimize drywall disturbance.
- Code-conscious: Materials and installation practices aligned with current electrical standards.
How we approached the installation
Chris began by reviewing the panel configuration to confirm tandem compatibility and the required rating. The team mapped the new pathway, then installed liquid-tight conduit for sections needing flexibility and moisture resistance and PVC conduit for straight, protected runs. We carefully fished conductors through narrow spaces, secured all conduit with proper supports, and used the appropriate connectors and LBs for clean entry and exit points. Final checks confirmed proper terminations, secure mounting, and tidy routing for a professional result.
