PVC Junction Box Question
Good afternoon. I am redoing my backyard and I ran 1 1/2 pvc straight to the back to run my low voltage wiring such as coax hdmi etc. for outside. When I get to the shed where I want to land it I have to make one or two turns then up the wall. Is it easiest to use regular 90 degree elbows for the turn then when I come up the wall what kind of junction box do I use to land the wires in and branch them out from?
Thank you for all your help as I am new to this forum.

Are you coming up outside of the wall and in to the shed, or inside the wall?
If coming up on the outside, 90 up from the ground into an LB and run into the back of a box on the inside.

If you are coming directly in to the wall, get a heat gun and heat up your pvc until it turns into a noodle and just manipulate it into a box.

The 90's are fine and there is any number of PVC box sizes I guess it depends on how you plan on landing the cables.more info would help.

Thank you for your responses. I am coming up inside the shed. I'm coming int the middle of the shed and going to turn up the back inside wall.
I will be running hdmi cat5 and probably a few coax connections. I was wondering if you had any suggestions on a distribution box or should I just come out the ground with the Pvc then run the cables to there desired locations. Such as a camerea a tv and possibly some speakers. I will not be using all the cables right away so I won't know where to run them yet.

You could mount a small structured wiring cabinet above the end of the conduit or just run the cable to the jack locations. If you use a box you will need to consider bend radius.
