tsolanto,

I'm not sure the conduit can be connected to the box if it is the type of box that has NM cable clamps?
BTW,
I am not opposed to the practice of using a section of EMT for protecting drops of NM cable to outlet boxes, in a basement, for example.
I know of at least one authority who considers it a violation. My opinion is that, with a proper transition fitting, the intent of the above mentioned article is satisfied.
Still thumbs down on wet locations, though.
