pvc term

[bark]

I was at a code update class(08) and I heard that a Pvc conduit run that terminated on top of a panel exposed to the weather has to have a meyers hub before the pvc TA. Where is it in the code?

Thanks

I don't see any reason that you can't use a sealing washer with a terminal adapter for this application. That assembly would have the same listing as a hub. The following is from Carlon's site.

Where a waterproof termination is required into any
enclosure (metallic or nonmetallic), install the neoprene
washer over the threads of a terminal adapter before
inserting into the enclosure. Use a standard locknut or
threaded bushing to secure the assembly.

I'm almost certain those washers are not listed
