[RE-wrenches] Wet locations: (was Push-in Wire Connectors)

[William Miller]

Friends:

I have had plan checkers insist I use wet rated wire on rooftops even 
though the wire was in either liquid tight or EMT with raintight 
connectors.  I did not need to dispute this because we had specified THHN 
wire that is also rated THWN for wet locations.  This discussion makes me 
think I should have contradicted the requirement because I am not sure wet 
rated wire is required inside dry conduit.  I will be looking this up.

I feel that you should not let an AHJ impose a requirement that is not in 
the code because then you become bound to the new stricture.  I realize 
that an AHJ can impose stricter requirements, but I insist that it be in 
writing, required in advance of the job in question and that it be required 
universally.  Otherwise, it's anarchy.
