No, you can't run a fishtape or pull wire through it. That's the point!

We do our wiring to comply with the Code. We don't apply the Code to comply with our wiring preferences.

LBs, Capped ells, Pull elbows, have a removeable cover. A 90° sealtite fitting is more like a telephone elbow, or a plumbing elbow. How about a 100' of EMT or rigid run to a telephone ell (bushed elbow), and another 100' slid over the end of the conductors after the 90? Same thing IMO
Is a fitting part of the raceway? I believe it is.

BTW, I'll bet you can take 9 out of 10 Sealtite fittings apart by hand without the use of tools. It's rare to find the gland nut tight.
Another nasty habit: For installers to think that because they've got a straight piece of conduit coming through the roof, the other 360° degrees of bend below the roof line don't count and they're starting anew.

If you can find something that excludes this fitting, I'll eat my hat....again....some more [Linked Image]

I think that 300.18 is clear.
