Can you pull 2*6 AWG through 3/4" conduit?
Need to pull a pair of AWG 6 cables from solar through the roof. When I look at some photos here, it looks like people are able to pull 2* AWG 4 through 3/4 conduit connectors. I don't have cables yet...

3/4 conduit is .75" OUTSIDE diameter
Alright, I think the mystery is solved. The one on the photo is a 3/4 Liquidtight nonmetallic flexible conduit (and plastic fitting for the same). They are 0.81" ID. But I can't - don't want - to use those fittings because they are too short to work as a fastener to plywood. Conduit is not needed on the roof - but the fitting is. It's tough being stupid, have to follow in other people steps :) ...
There is such thing as "3/4 Threaded PVC pipe nipple" 3/4 NPT 3/4" ID. So the question is - exactly how thick is #6 welding cable like this one? It says 0.38", doesn't it...

if you are going to put it in conduit why the heavy coated wire though
What else is out there? Something that I can run from the roof J-box into the rig, and then along the wall (partially in the cabinets), and to the controller. Few feet of the welding cable on the roof I can cover with a split wire loom, seems easy.
