Talk:LFNC
I never dealt with it (at least yet), but another advantage i would think is this wouldn't have that grease on it that gets all over the place and needs dish soap to get off you. Also some coworkers got it on their workgloves then around some lights installed later (fixable but still a bit of a whoops lol). Still not as bad as that Anti-Seizing Compound (or was it Anti-Oxidizing Compound for Aluminum Wiring (Quick check, Noalox is the name/genericized trademark, used it on a panel once stuff was NASTY, important and part of the job but that crap got EVERYWHERE)
I wonder if it runs into any issues similar to that Coated Rebar with Crevice Corrosion, granted it's not really structural
My only points would be:
- Does it require special cutters? (MC Requires MC Cutters short of for "rough cuts" you can bend-snap it then cut the metal with Lineman Pliers]] but that's moreso for scrapping small pieces (use the wires as pigtails or just put in scrap pile without the bulk of the full on mc)
- Cost vs other options (granted for bits that require it obviously no big deal, and i'm not in on all the context and whatnot of the edit, some recent SEH Work or moreso future protocol planning?)
- Connector Options+Cost (We always had a PILE of EMT Screw Couplings (Or Compression Couplings depending on the jobsite's specs, Screw are easier to work with as you just can use your screwdriver ~~or impact driver~~ to install those, need two wrenches for the compression (although if done "assembly line" style one could do the hand-tight + general install, next person does the full on wrench-tight)
- Overall build ergonomics; short of being bulky before being cut down, EMT isn't that bad to lug around. MC or a few full on spools of wire (or the entire wire cart that's a story lol) can get heavy quick and also are a bit more "gangly" for lack of a better word. Especially once you start using it MC and Flex and whatnot become spaghetti if not carefully contained (another use for old wire, industrial grade twist tie)
Just thought i'd chime in on that i guess, if this is related to the bit from yesterday.
