Emergency TIA needed ASAP for raintight EMT fittings

[wwhitney]

The only code violation stems from using the fitting in a manner that violates its *instructions*.

Would like to add that those instructions also include limitations enumerated within the listing standard. E.g. the part of UL 514(B) that says, to paraphase, that a fitting with non-standard male threads shall be supplied with a locknut and shall only be used to connect to a sheet metal enclosure.

Cheers, Wayne

I'm still going to make the case that isn't clearly what is meant by the code when it says "instructions included in the listing". The listing is not the standard. If the manufacturers are failing to provide instructions they should be providing then that's between them and the NRTL, and doesn't create a code violation by the installer.
