Thanks for the 101! I spent a good half hour flipping through NEC on Friday, but these specs are so disjointed regarding conduit, it's hard to find anything unless you already know where to look. In retrospect, I guess I already knew the "right" way to do it and knew watertight conduit isn't dry but didn't know for sure and was looking for an excuse to take shortcuts. (Which is awfully hypocritical of me- if this was something I was going for work, I'd have insisted on rigid metal!)

Is SCH 40 considered "Nonmetallic Conduit" or just SCH 80? The local big box has an excellent selection of SCH40 conduit, but no SCH 80 outside of the plumbing section.
