I've seen this many times but I don't recall seeing it used outdoors. Can't find it in the 08' NEC. It's not the usual liquid-tight.

My question is what NEC type is it and is it allowed to be exposed to the elements.

Thanks.

I forget the name for it. I think electricians refer to it as Smurf tubing or something similar.
