PVC to EMT

[solarken]

Any reason to not use a set screw adapter typically used for flex, to transition from PVC to EMT? It fits fine, would be secure, and no bonding needed, I have EGC inside, and the EMT is bonded on the far end.

Because it's made for flex. Use a male threaded PVC adapter glued on>threaded coupling>EMT connector.

Like Hal said they make the proper fittings to transition from one to the other. Although the fitting in the photo may work that isn't it.

Why not a female PVC adapter and a connector?
Note both of these ideas are not acceptable to some AHJs as the male threads of the connector have not been evaluated for use with female threads.

This is listed for the purpose

Do you mean the threads have not been evaluated for mechanical connectivity as opposed to electrical/ground continuity or is watertightness the issue?
But if listed materials are not required isn't it up to the AHJ.

But if listed materials are not required

358.6: "EMT, factory elbows, and associated fittings shall be listed."

Is that PVC water line?

Would require a grounding bushing when terminated, depending. Use the flow chart for grounding bushings.

That looks like its for ENT not PVC.
