An overstatement of the fire resistance for sure but my opinion is that the allowance of sealtite and liquidtite flexible nonmetallic conduit was intended for the flexible connection to the motor(s) and nothing more.
That is a fine opinion but it is not what the NEC states.
Your new here so let me fill you in.
This Forum is a
NEC Forum, it is not a 'how I would like to see it done forum.'
If you are the electrician worth your weight in salt that has actually been in the field and not just a book worm claiming to KNOW something then you would have a safe, pleasing to the eye and within the Code installation.
You really have no idea about me so I will let you know I have been earning a living in the field since I was 17 and I am now 42.
I know more about actual installations than I know about the NEC. I work with the tools almost every day and run jobs from small service work to half a million dollar generator installs.
"LFNC all the way to the firepump" is NOT acceptable.
To the NEC it is.
Most CQCM's or Engineers would tell you to tear it out and do it over.
Your right, they might do that depending on the job specifications.
But job specifications, my opinion or your opinion are not NEC code sections.
