4 inch flexible ribbed drain tubing in the garden department at home depot
( and Lowes, I suspect). Comes in 10 ft lengths and 50 ft rolls at least.
seems like it was about a dollar a foot. For long distances you will

entanglement when pulling the cables through it.
1500 feet ??? You'll need a big fire to get any smoke out of the other end.
