In Reply to: RE: Any benefit in running romex inside of copper pipe? posted by dcuhl on December 18, 2016 at 14:10:41
Be real careful. There is no standard way to protect the Romex from chaffing where the wire enters and exits. Why you might think, how could that possibly wear through the insulation? I have seen it happen. Years of tiny vibrations and movements created a short circuit electrocution Hazzard. I was surprised and lucky. Guess the code is there for a good reason!

He would need to use a copper pipe to male thread adapter. See Link below.If he used any boxes they cannot be galvanized steel. Same for the lock nut used to mechanically/electrically connect the fitting to the box. Any copper fittings would need to be soldered to the copper pipe for conductivity continuity of the conduit system.
