FMC conduit connected to PVC conduit

[Ted1776]

Would it be a violation to connect FMC conduit to PVC conduit? If so, what code section would I reference? Thanks

Can you provide more detail ?
With the proper fittings it should be allowable but things like grounding need to be taken into account.
How are they being joined ? What size conduits/circuit, etc ?

Your answer would be in different sections No violation if FMC is allowed. See uses allowed in respective articles. The FMC will need connection at one end to a bonding conductor per 250.118

Ok, thanks for your input!

Joined by electrical tape won't quite cut it

Might as well hang a sign “AHJ-violation here”.
Why tape when all you need is two fittings? If not at least use 33.
