I have a contractor asking me for an exception to a specification requirement that says #10 and larger shall be solid. They want to use stranded #10 for a specific application. I have no basic objection, but I would like a sanity check on their reason for the request. They stated, "10AWG can be pulled through RMC only on a straight line. We require 10AWG for the Water Heater line with multiple 90 degree bends in the RMC conduit."
Does anyone have an opinion on the statement that "10AWG can be pulled through RMC only on a straight line"?
