PVC to LFNC

[Nutmegger]

I haven't done PVC work in a long time..
What's a good wet location fitting or a set of fittings to transition from 1/2" PVC to the Liquidtight of a corresponding diameter?

A PVC TA and a rigid coupling to an LFMC connector.

A junction box.

A PVC TA and a rigid coupling to an LFMC connector.

He is trying to connect PVC to LFNC which are both non-metalic raceways. Bonding that rigid coupling will be a trick.


How about a PVC female adapter and a LFNC connector?

That's how I do it.

That will work just fine. Connections like that are made every day without problems, but UL says connectors are only listed to be used with a lock nut. They are not listed to be screwed in a fitting with female thread.

I can't remember the last time I used a LFMC connector with a lock nut.

That was the part that was "throwing" me -- screwing an LFNC into a PVC female TA seemed "hack" to me.
That said, I've done it with rigid plenty of times (screwing a flex squeeze connector into a TA), and the inspectors never balked it it (to date).

... that said, I've used a metal screw-in FMC connector to attach liquidtite to a metal box, and nobody was the wiser :happyno:

That is not exactly what UL says. Last time I looked they simply say they have not tested or investigated that product for that use and it is up to the AHJ to determine if the use creates an issue.

In my area I have never seen anyone get shot down for this.
