Liquidtight flexible metal conduit (LFMC) is especially suited for which of the following uses?
a.As a general lighting raceway in dry ceilings only
b.Only for service-entrance conductors
c.Connections to equipment where flexibility and protection from liquids are needed
d.Only for direct burial without fittings
Explanation
Section 350.10 permits LFMC where flexibility or protection from liquids, vapors, or solids is required, such as connections to motors and outdoor equipment. It is not limited to dry ceilings, is not intended specifically for service-entrance conductors, and requires listed fittings rather than bare direct burial.
