If it keeps water in, it can keep water out. ;-)

Subject: [AFMUG] Poly well pipe as conduit 

A customer ran 1600' of polyethelyne water pipe instead of a conduit for a 
fiber drop cable. He asked me before hand if it was ok, and I said "It doesn't 
bother me, but check with code enforcement to make sure it's ok." I had assumed 
code would tell him to get a conduit instead of a water pipe. He says they told 
him it was fine. 


I could direct bury the cable, so it truly doesn't matter to me what the type 
of pipe/conduit is. I'm just surprised that it wouldn't be an issue for code 
enforcement. My belief is that fiber optic cables are within the scope of NEC 
and that NEC calls for listed conduit. Am I mistaken?
