The other question is are they rated for PVC, which is what Marco
intended to use them for. EMT corrodes very quickly here in the Islands.
Code only says "shall be installed and equiped so as to prevent water
from entering the conduit", but the local AHJ is not allowing PVC
with gaskets into the plastic boxes.
Seems the fix he suggested: the Myer's Hub, could be a violation of
the products UL listing, when used with other types of conduit.

guys,
on myers hubs... are these even rated for emt connectors?
i know that a lot of inspectors look for them, and a lot of
electricians use them, but i just went through several
manufacturers cut sheets and they only say for rigid and imc.
nothing is said about emt or emt fittings. In fact they
are tapered to accommodate rigid pipe, which we all know makes it
tough to close the gap with emt connectors.
It makes me think that one should use a water tight gasketed
fitting and a bonding bushing for these situations.
I guess the question is if these emt connectors qualify for 250.92
(B)(2).
i still cant imagine using anything else coming into the top of a
metal enclosure...
