[RE-wrenches] myers hub

[R. Walters]

The other question is are they rated for PVC, which is what Marco  
intended to use them for. EMT corrodes very quickly here in the Islands.
Code only says "shall be installed and equiped so as to prevent water  
from entering the conduit", but the local AHJ is not allowing PVC  
with gaskets into the plastic boxes.
Seems the fix he suggested: the Myer's Hub, could be a violation of  
the products UL listing, when used with other types of conduit.
