Rigid polyvinyl chloride conduit (PVC) is permitted to be used in which of the following locations?
a.Wet locations and direct burial where listed
b.Only in dry indoor locations
c.Only where exposed to sunlight
d.Only inside metal enclosures
Explanation
Section 352.10 permits rigid PVC conduit in wet locations, corrosive environments, concealed work, and direct burial where properly listed and assembled. Restricting it to dry indoor use, sunlight-only, or inside metal enclosures misstates its permitted uses. PVC is widely used underground for branch-circuit feeders.
