Plumbing pipe used as electrical conduit?

A member posted this years ago. Apparently, it is an operating system of wiring in plumbing PVC. Check out the end caps and how the conduit is reduced.

Be happy you have black iron. lol

I have also seen old buildings where the lighting circuits were pulled thru the old gas lighting pipes as a retrofit. One still had the gas supply connected (but turned off at a valve).

Yep, before galvanized became a thing it was black iron pipe.

Tell him to watch out that black iron piping will give him the black lung

What would the inspector do if this work were already done. Would he make the plumbing pipe be removed for the entire run?

I would and if the piping was metallic, I might require that the conductors be replaced too.
