ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area Sched. 80 pvc conduit.

Built a 200a UG service on new home. Deck wraps all the way around the house,so it wound up on the deck.

I used sched 80 pvc for the stub-down for the poco.About 4' of it is exposed on the deck,and used 2 2-hole straps to secure it to the wall.

Home inspector hired by the HO says it should have been RMC because of possible damage.


What the heck's going to be on a deck that will damage sched 80? If it was possible for a vehicle to hit it,I'd agree,but it's not.

What's everyone else's opinion?
