We are installing a day tank for diesel fuel in an enclosed CMU constructed room, located outside in a parking lot. Does any or all of the exposed conduit and fittings require classifcation?

just to clarify what might be a bit of a misconception.

conduit and fittings are not classified. classification refers to the geographic area in which you might install them and indicates there is a specific risk of fire that requires special precautions be taken to reduce that risk.

conduit and fittings may either be identified in the code or listed by a testing agency as suitable for use in an area that is classified.
