Your comment about "code" caused me to go out and do a Google search on: low voltage conduit residential code a few of the interesting results: https://www.bicsi.org/pdf/bicsinews/2008/JanuaryFebruary2008.pdf http://www.sdmmag.com/articles/84601-what-technicians-need-to-know-about-cable-the-nec They are more oriented towards commercial buildings, but it seem like "code" is routinely violated for low voltage cable installs. I expect that residential installs are even worse. Something to consider I suppose.
