Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) is not permitted for protecting conductors in situations where severe physical damage is likely, such as where underground service conductors exit a trench to run up to a meter socket on the side of a house. EMT is generally considered less durable compared to options like rigid metal conduit, intermediate metal conduit, or schedule 80 rigid PVC conduit, which are designed to withstand more severe conditions.
