Exactly. That is my big issue with them. Seems to serve no purpose. We already have to use wet rated wire, and there are other requirements such as raceway allowed to drain etc. Finally, IMO raintight fittings are not manufactured with enough quality to keep water out anyway. Just went back to a roof I did a year ago to make a few changes, some of the rain tight runs were filled with water. Its DUMB. So much hate and anger!Seems to be consensus so far. My question then -
What use are raintite fittings for EMT and the like? They serve no purpose whatsoever other than to increase the cost of the installation.

Edit: sorry to turn this into a rant against RT fittings, but anyone know offhand how that change came about? What was the justification? Is it something manufacturers made before the code requirement came in?
