Personally though, I would use Flex PVC before the conduit, and use hard pipe before both...just a preference.


Flexible Non-Metallic Electrical Conduit is pvc, e.g. flex pvc, just comes in colors other than white, and black. FNMEC contains BPA and Phthalates, both in quantities far less than required to cause a problem in humans, but then so does Flex PVC and pvc hard pipe/conduit....the FNMEC is not listed for potable water, and neither is Flex PVC or hard pipe/conduit in most jurisdictions. (the codes are always in flux.) There is not enough of these "terrible compounds" in any of it to cause a problem for you or your critters...it is mis-informaton. It is widespread mis-information, so is not necessarily the messengers fault. But guess what is listed for potable water: Copper....Personally though, I would use Flex PVC before the conduit, and use hard pipe before both...just a preference.
