The only reason I would is because an inspector in town told me once "just make everything above ground sch 80" and it's a rule I've stuck to.I know it's questionable but I would use sch 40, I just don't see the need for sch 80
I would use a PVC offset nipple with a terminal adapter.
I'm sure that's fine as well. This is a heavy ag area, it's technically a house on an orchard, so, it's not like it's downtown Los Angeles.I would use a PVC offset nipple with a terminal adapter.
