Hi guys. When installing a metal elbow in a run of PVC, referencing 250.86 ex.3, would the metal elbow being PVC coated change the minimum depth?

No, if the top of the elbow is not 18" deep it will have to be bonded.

Thank you Roger. That was what I thought also. I had a co-worker tell me that if was PVC coated that it did not have to be a minimum of 18" to the top of the elbow. I told him that metal was metal. And besides when screwing on female adapters sometimes coated threads are still exposed.
