Marc Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 Click to Enlarge 47.25 KB I've seen this many times but I don't recall seeing it used outdoors. Can't find it in the 08' NEC. It's not the usual liquid-tight. My question is what NEC type is it and is it allowed to be exposed to the elements. Thanks. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjr6550 Posted March 8, 2014 Report Share Posted March 8, 2014 I forget the name for it. I think electricians refer to it as Smurf tubing or something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
