Did I mention that the vast majority of services in my area are done with aluminum SEU cable? Yes, I think I did.
I think you are right............Nobody else cares wether it is conduit or SE except electricians
I don't like to put copper and aluminum in the same raceway.When you do Al feeders for commercial work, do you also use Al EGC? I see where some engineers will use Al for the conductors and CU for EGC. Not sure if there is an advantage or just that Cu is better and the cost difference for the smaller conductors isnt as big a deal versus the Current Carrying Cond. I either go all Al or all Cu, but was wondering about this other option.
It's okay if you use purple bushings.I don't like to put copper and aluminum in the same raceway.
The use of duxseal should of been banned years ago.
You could use real duck poop and keep more water from entering the service.
But is does provide us with MANY new service changes
I have been using 100% rubber silicone for many years and never had a call back.
Even Latex caulk is garbage and should never be used.
used up all my purple paint retrofitting wire nuts to pigtail al to cuIt's okay if you use purple bushings.
