During a seminar last week a comment was made regarding Romex installed in emt conduit...
If the Romex is pushed through a length of conduit into a metal outlet box which the conduit is connected to, it will
not be restrained by a listed Romex connecter so this would be a violation...
The comment then followed that, OK - I'll put an EMT connecter with a rigid coupling and Romex connector on the end of
the EMT and then strip the Romex and push it through the conduit...
Now this is where the question here begins...It was suggested that stripping the outer jacket of the Romex to feed just
the conductors through the conduit would also be a violation as "the conductors are only "listed" with the non-metallic sheath."
If this is correct, where is this "listing" in writing?
