Cal. Code Regs. Tit. 8, § 2761 - Rigid Metal Conduit

(a) Use. Rigid metal conduit shall be permitted to be used under all atmospheric conditions and occupancies, provided conduits and fittings exposed to the weather or to severe corrosive influences are of corrosion-resistant material or have coatings inside and outside suitable for the conditions. Where dissimilar metals are used, they shall be joined by an approved device or method.

(Title 24, Part 3, Section 3-346 - 1.)

(b) Running Threads. Running threads shall not be used.

(Title 24, Part 3, Section 3-346 - 9(b).)

(c) Support. Conduit shall be supported at least every 10 feet. However, rigid metallic runs of conduit made up with approved threaded couplings and uninterrupted by pull boxes shall be permitted to be secured in accordance with Table 2, provided such fastening prevents transmission of stresses to terminus when conduit is deflected between supports.
