I'm adding a new outdoor outlet, which I plan to run a new circuit from my main panel along the side of the house preferably with surface mount EMT.
The connector transition from the in-wall wiring to the surface mount EMT is where I am having trouble figuring it out. I've seen a LB type connector used with SCH40/80 for electrical where they drill a hole in the wall and the LB transitions from in-wall to surface mount conduit. The issue I am having is I only see EMT LB connectors available with set screws, which aren't appropriate for outdoor/wet locations.
Is there something else I could use other than a LB connector that would work with EMT and be suitable for a wet/outdoor location?
I suppose I could use SCH40/80, but I have to go around a corner and I hate using those giant pre-formed giant sweeping 90deg connectors, that's why I was hoping to use EMT.
Thanks in advance!
