wwhitney: Your NEC reference seems to be on point -- PVC 80 is allowed, contrary to what I believed to be the case.
Don't you think, however, that Rigid Metal Conduit protects its contents much better than PVC 80 (i.e. "don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good")?
Also isn't a conducting conduit more likely to cause a (desired!?) breaker trip if a damaged hot wire contacts a metal conduit (because it should be grounded)?
