No, pipe is not required, but the only SE cable my supplier has is #2 Al SEU and SER and 4/0 Al SEU and SER. Any other size and it has to be THWN or RHW-2 in Pipe. (Don't like SE Cable anyway...)

I've had better than a dozen or so inspections (I'm sure some of you have that many a week!). Usually I can point out more violations than they can... [Linked Image]

I wish that the inspections were for all phases of work rather than just services.

I wonder if I could pass a rough-in inspection...?!?!?!
