I would like to purchase offshore manufactured EMT tubing. The tubing would not be U/L approved because it is pre-galvanized.
U/L requires about 25 microns of zinc to stand up to their copper sulphate (Preece) Test. As far as I can tell NEC has no requirement on corrosion resistance. Pre-gal is used in many countries and creates less health and environmental issues. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to establish if we would be NEC compliant?
Thanks!
