It is permissible to run Romex (NM cable) inside PVC conduit in specific situations, mainly for protection purposes in exposed locations, subject to local building codes. However, it is essential to be aware that this practice can lead to several issues. First, pulling NM cable through conduit can be challenging due to its bulkiness and the friction it creates, which can damage the cable. Second, in wet or damp locations, the sheathing around NM cable can trap moisture inside the conduit. Lastly, the National Electrical Code (NEC) states that conduit in these circumstances should not be considered a damp or wet location, and care should be taken to adhere to all applicable codes and standards. Generally, for runs that require conduit, individual THHN wires are recommended for ease of installation and compliance. Always consult the local building department for specific requirements in your area.

Using PVC pipe for dryer venting is not recommended or approved due to potential safety hazards. Dryers produce hot, moist air and small amounts of lint, which when passed through a PVC pipe, could lead to melting of the pipe or accumulation of static electricity, heightening the risk of fire. The International Residential Code (IRC) and most local building codes specifically require the use of materials that can withstand higher temperatures and not support combustion, such as aluminum or galvanized steel, for dryer venting. Additionally, the smooth interior of these metal vents helps to reduce lint buildup, further minimizing fire risk. It’s always best to adhere to local building codes and manufacturers’ guidelines when selecting materials for dryer venting to ensure safety and efficiency.

PVC cement is designed specifically for creating strong joints in PVC piping, utilizing a chemical reaction to essentially weld the PVC material together. However, ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) is a different type of plastic with distinct chemical properties. Using PVC cement on ABS will not result in a secure bond because the cement’s formulation does not react properly with ABS material. For joining ABS, it’s essential to use ABS-specific cement, which is formulated to create a strong bond with ABS pipes. If you need to join ABS to PVC, there are special transition cements available that are designed for this purpose, providing a reliable bond between these two types of plastics.
