I have to agree with Earlydeans comments.
"Liquidtite" does not define as "waterproof" does it??
As 'raintite" does not define as 'waterproof' either.
Playing wordsmith with terms that can be defined by each persons opinions, is akin to thinking that everyone in the world has the same definitions for all words and phrases.
IMHO, if it's outside, it's 'wet location', if it's inside/outside and subject to temp variations, it's "wet".
What's the big deal?? THHN/THWN is rated for both locations, the cost is not prohibitive, and it's a widely stocked/available item.
INHO, stripping NMC as described within the previous comments is a 'short-cut', and 'saves' having to handle another type of conductor, and having it on the job.
Is this practice commonplace, YES, is it "CODE"; NO....does it fail....YES, if the AHJ opens the disco to check! Can the stripped NMC conductors deteriorate, probably YES, over a period of time.
Ryan J.....what do you say???
