Liquid Tight Penetration

[DLCOX]

Quick question my friends. Can liquid tight be ran through an AC jacket without any protection (bushings, meyers, etc) or support?
Does NEC 300.10 pertain to this?

Wondering in Arizona,

Thanks

You wouldn’t need any protection because liquid type fine more durable than an AC channel supporting. I don’t know if it’s not accessible. You don’t have to support it, but I would say it. I support it around here. They do it all the time I don’t do it.

AC is Armored Cable. it does not come without conductors, because then it would not be a 'cable.' are you referring to flexible metal conduit FMC?

also, by "liquid tight" are you referring to LFNC (carflex)?

if both of these are the case, why don't you simply get some LFMC (sealtight)? it already has the physical protection inside of the liquid-tight casing?

Around here, when someone says “liquid tight”, they always mean LFMC. Derived from the brand name “Liquatite.”

I took it that OP meant the metal cabinet for an air condition unit. By using the term "liquid tight" he had to be talking about installing that in an enclosure as you couldn't very well run liquid tight through AC/BX jacket unless it was small liquid tight and a very large AC cable with the wires pulled out.

??? i guess i read it as it was typed. "can liquid tight be ran through an AC jacket..." ? sounded a bit off to me, but that's what i was getting from what he typed.

i dunno. i guess we'll have to wait until the OP gets back to us.

fyi - 300.10 refers to electrical continuity of metal raceways, cable armor, and enclosures.
