Friends:

I have had plan checkers insist I use wet rated wire on rooftops even though the wire was in either liquid tight or EMT with raintight connectors. I did not need to dispute this because we had specified THHN wire that is also rated THWN for wet locations. This discussion makes me think I should have contradicted the requirement because I am not sure wet rated wire is required inside dry conduit. I will be looking this up.

I feel that you should not let an AHJ impose a requirement that is not in the code because then you become bound to the new stricture. I realize that an AHJ can impose stricter requirements, but I insist that it be in writing, required in advance of the job in question and that it be required universally. Otherwise, it's anarchy.
