Can you run brass conduit underwater along the bottom of fountain exposed to underwater Jboxes to feed lights in fountain?

I can't really find a clear answer on this.


Thanks
 
The little bit of research I just did leads me to believe a discussion with the AHJ might be in order. Good luck and let us know what you find out.

It's not direct buried, it's not really a swimming pool, but has similar characteristics so maybe. :)

I would believe all the info you need is in article 680.52 (A) and (B).

We use PVC when we do fountains, or LFNC, we use DB type wire nuts, and a good removable encapsulate potting compound, such as the GE pour and seal. and make sure you use wet location conductors, or cord with a "W" suffix.
