protection of mobile home feeder

[gserve]

Can Sealtite be used to protect a mobile home feeder? What the problem is is that I need the flexibility to hook the feeder up to the mobile home. There is 2" PVC run to under the slab within 2' of where the drop to the home is and I would like to transfer from PVC to sealtite but keep in compliance to protect the feeder under the mobile home.

Re: protection of mobile home feeder

from article 550 of the 2002 code
I) Mast Weatherhead or Raceway. Where the calculated load exceeds 50 amperes or where a permanent feeder is used, the supply shall be by means of either of the following:
(1) One mast weatherhead installation, installed in accordance with Article 230, containing four continuous, insulated, color-coded feeder conductors, one of which shall be an equipment grounding conductor
(2) A metal raceway or rigid nonmetallic conduit from the disconnecting means in the mobile home to the underside of the mobile home, with provisions for the attachment to a suitable junction box or fitting to the raceway on the underside of the mobile home [with or without conductors as in 550.10(I)(1)]. The manufacturer shall provide written installation instructions stating the proper feeder conductor sizes for the raceway and the size of the junction box to be used.

That being said and sealtight not being listed I would say no to your question.
I may have over looked something but that is my take before a holiday weekend. My brain is already on holiday.

Have a safe weekend

In Oregon, a mobile home is required to have a flexible material from the conduit to the make up can, unless on a solid concrete slab.
