The inspector told me we have to drain the pvc pipe 3/4 that was ran outside.. But what's the way to drain a pvc pipe... Any ideas plz..

Plus what is the "FST Proof Seal"

He told me since you are running a wire from inside to outside then you will have to put that seal too..

I always run outdoor pipes without draining and the other inspectors pass it..
He gave me these articles

225. 22

314. 15

300. 7

Plz help thank u

As long as the conductors inside the pipe are rated for wet areas (or direct burial), water in the PVC conduit is not a problem. It is generally considered to unavoidable and not a code concern.
If water from the conduit could drip inside electrical equipment that could be a code concern.
And if the water enters a "dry" space and causes problems, that is a design concern, not code issue.
