Here they will not let you get away with it on the ground floor. I had a customer who wanted to run conduit in his garage/shop and do it him self to save money. I told him to run PVC but he wanted to learn how to bend 90's and such. After laughing at him and throwing up my hands he ran EMT. The inspector told him the only way he would pass it was if he painted the EMT with roofing tar. The customer called the Dept. of Insurance, and for those of us who know who Ron Chilton is, got Ron on the phone and told him what was going on. Ron told the customer that if the local inspector was going to allow it on the ground floor with tar on it he was lucky and the inspector should have made him tear it out. But if it were on a second floor or above where it was not in contact with the earth it was OK.
