Didn't chamfer the PVC? Or does it get a bell end?
It is, that's why I said endearing and not annoying. I enjoy it.Isn’t that the purpose? It’s all about the interaction and mountain making....
No need. More than likely it will get a coupling/connector.Didn't chamfer the PVC? Or does it get a bell end?
connector to where? wouldn't that make it conduit? I would leave it open for air to flow more easily, but fire foam the open end in the wall.No need. More than likely it will get a coupling/connector.
When you bring the UF up into the cabinet, you will need to protect it (340.12.10) until it hints the j-box used to tie into the range. If it is in a void, then you'd be okay.connector to where? wouldn't that make it conduit? I would leave it open for air to flow more easily, but fire foam the open end in the wall.
I would perhaps just add a straight pvc coupler pushed down tight onto the end (with a spot of glue on pipe side), the couplers have a soft radius on their ends so wires wont snag, etc.
True. I was thinking a cabinet that may have a wall on one side, so I would bring it up in the wall section. Many islands are built that way.When you bring the UF up into the cabinet, you will need to protect it (340.12.10) until it hints the j-box used to tie into the range.

I did tons w/o walls. Use to run the circuit through the toe/kick base as the void to avoid running through cabinets. Set a 4sq box and MC to the recepts. All kinds of coderific solutions possible.True. I was thinking a cabinet that may have a wall on one side, so I would bring it up in the wall section. Many islands are built that way.
I was eluding to another Q, can a PVC raceway suddenly end? I know there's no safety issue, but I start with conduit in a box, some MC runs through that 20ft in slab up into a wall, and then the conduit ends but the MC just keeps going. Legal? By some sections of NEC it would seem legal, I just not sure about the whole book.I did tons w/o walls. Use to run the circuit through the toe/kick base as the void to avoid running through cabinets.

Yeah but in that case I have to splice the circuit. I hate splicing a circuit with a heavy load draw because the wire nuts burn up sometimes. But I guess that’s my only choice.
Provide a junction box and transition to pipe to the island

When used as a raceway system it must terminate at boxes, conduit bodies, other fittings. Open transition to something like cable tray is one place that maybe goes against this or even into a bottomless switchboard.I was eluding to another Q, can a PVC raceway suddenly end?
