Is the statement "Rigid mettalic conduit shall be installed as per ANSI/ASME standard for pipe threads,general purpose" true or false?
The code requires,in 344.28 that it be threaded to 1 inch 16 taper etc.,then in references the ansi/asme standard in the Informational note,does that make the ansi/asme standard required(shall be) by code?
Even if it might be the only way to thread rmc does that make the standard required?
 
Yes field threaded RMC is required to have a tapered thread. That taper is equivalent to NPT tapered threads.
