Customer questioning the use of listed PVC conduit instead of cheaper white plumbing pipe. Other than code requirements I believe there is a physical difference as well. I know the plumbing pipe is more brittle. Does someone know the exact difference as to why it must be used instead of plumbing pipe under NEC?
He states that he's got a bunch of plumbing pipe and doesn't want to pay extra for PVC conduit.
I'm not questioning the use of listed pipe, but customer not satisfied with "the code says so" or that "plumbing pipe more brittle".
