Re: ent
My experiences with ENT has been both postitive and negative. The product is very lite in weight, the connectors attach to the conduit and to boxes fairly easy and quickly, and circuits can be added later if needed. As far as in poured concrete, I have had occasional instsallations that have collapsed the ENT after the pour. Also, long runs become hard to pull conductors through and it is very tempting and easy to put more than 360 degrees of bends in one run which come back to haunt you later. The best thing about "smurf" is if you cut a peice about 5 foot in length and spin it around your head, a real cool sound comes out of it! Try it out.

If I remember correctly, pvc fittings can be used with smurf. I'm not sure if I read this in the code book or the handbook but it struck me because I have had ahj's advise me they weren't allowed. Can somebody clarify this?
BTW if you get enough guys spinning different lengths you can have a whole symphony....

Re: ent
362.6 listed requirements -ent and associated fittings shall be listed. so with that id say that pvc fittings are not permitted since they are ul listed for use with pvc conduit.
362.10 (6) allows it to be imbedded in concrete with approved fittings.
LMAO thinking of a bunch of electricians standing around swinging ent around their heads,trying to play a song

Re: ent
I believe PVC fittings are listed to be used for ENT, from an old forum topic.

Re: ent
Always get the listing on ENT!!!!!!!!!!!! Then try to install it per the listing. Im an inspector and I will take off my hat to anyone who can follow the installation instructions. WOW,makes my head spend just thinking about it. Good luck. Maybe the inspector will not ask to see the listing. I always do.
