retrofit parking garage lights

[Len Shapiro]

Can you use fmc to extend from emt about 10 inches for a shorter retrofit light? Existing lights are 5 feet new lights are 4 feet. Garage is piped in emt. I do not see anything in code that says i cannot do this. Please let me know if I am wrong.

Yes. There are EMT to FMC adapters.

I am aware of the adapters, I just was not sure about the fmc. I will make the job much easier to make connections.
Thank you for your response.

Lenny, welcome to the forum.

Yes, FMC is equivalent to EMT. Don't forget the bushings.

For the external clamp on FMC connectors, there is a bushing that goes inside the flex. The connector has a small hole so the inspector can see the bushing. I used to get the bushings from T&B
