We are having an internal discussion here on if EMT is an approved wiring method inside of an indoor pool area.

The discussion is around 680.14 and the general pool area. The roof deck is 30 feet above the pool does the code allow us to use EMT that is painted with a special corrosion resistant paint? This is not the pool chemical storage area which we understand is totally different and a separate room.

I don't see why not. BTW, welcome to the forum


(B) Corrosive Environments.


1) Galvanized Steel and Stainless Steel EMT, Elbows, and Fittings.



Galvanized steel and stainless steel EMT, elbows, and fittings shall be permitted to be installed in concrete, in direct contact with the earth, or in areas subject to severe corrosive influences where protected by corrosion protection and approved as suitable for the condition.
