If you mean running a pipe to a weatherhead then it's a service mast. Usually it's 2" rigid metal conduit. Check your local codes and the power companies requirements.

How will you meet the fastening requirements ?

Sure, as long as the point of attachment is fastened to something other than the PVC riser. Having said that, I don't know why you would want to do that. Why not THWN from the weatherhead to the meter?

Not necessary if you strip the sheath, right?

Added: The conductors must be marked, right?

If you strip the whole thing you can't even use it.

This is not always true.

I consider a "mast" when the riser runs higher than whatever it is fastened to. That's generally the only time I see metal. Otherwise PVC or SE cable is used.

Yes it can but that is an expensive install rather than running 4/0 alum. thhw or something similar.
