I see. So that are many versions. Maybe hundreds?

OK. My peoblem is realy with walls made with bricks.

We tried to use PCV 3/4 to 1" tubes inserted between layers of bricks.

Masons complained, and they were right.

And needs are now for one channel, prefered metallic to cross-sectional area up to 4 square inches /two-brick or one sq in/single brick wall. Temp difference inside-outside to 50 deg F

Applications: rooms, halls. Mostly commercial and industrial.

Wiring: N * single Cu conductors 600 V insulation

Thank you 4 advice - opinion - links

Select bricks with vertical holes. Brick mason to align vertical holes in line with outlet. Route metal conduit electrical vertically through bricks holes to point of use.

Verify local code compliance.

It might be easier if you didn't use the walls, but the ceilings, (armoured flex?) or floors (embedded in concrete in conduite or pipe) , or surface mount, (which I believe is the more common solution, and there is existing technologies)
