Interesting timing on this thread....I just finished wiring an exhaust fan for a dishwasher in a commercial kitchen. It was the type with the 1/2 inch tube for the wire to drop through and was roof mounted. The duct guy promptly told me that I needed to install sealtite and a pitch box. He said he has never seen MC used in his career I peeled back the aluminum armor and exposed the THHN-THWN conductors to him.
