Damp location EMT fitting listing

According to UL FKAV, "The term ??concrete tight?? or equivalent on the carton indicates suitability for use in poured concrete."

Damp locations are mentioned in any fitting listing by UL for EMT. In fact UL does not even mention wet locations, but they do address "raintight".
 
Jim,
A concrete tight couping is a standard coupling .... many set set screw couplings have this listing. I see no reason why a standard coupling can't be used in a damp location.

most set screw fittings say 'concrete tight when taped"

would you use a set screw fitting in a damp location? or would we need a compression fitting?
 
OOPs, kind of.

I meant to say that UL does not list any EMT fitting for damp locations.

Damp and Wet are NEC terms and other than with luminaires and device boxes UL seems never to use them.
 
Still confused.

I am still confused guys.

Is any type of EMT fitting listing other than "dry only" acceptable for damp areas, or would I be required to use raintight.

Thanks,
Andy
 
I asked this question too and a response was that there is a compression fitting that is listed for raintight applications. And there are the ones that are listed as concrete tight too. You have to figure what is best for the application that you are using it for and decide from there. If the fitting is listed for the application then I say use it.
 
And I mean to say that you can use any EMT fitting in a damp location. There is no requirement for the use of a specific fitting.
