I like your smurf tube name.

ENT seems pretty fragile. Seen significant problems?

Smurf is really pretty tough. It can be used anywhere you can use
Romex plus embedded in concrete.

As an "unelectrical" anecdotal study, I am also using a piece of 3/4"
smurf to sleeve the steering cable on my boat. 12 years later the
Florida sun, salt water and heat have not hurt it a bit. It didn't get
hard and crack as I suspected it might. Carlon must have some U/V
protection in it. I personally think the listing may be somewhat
conservative.

A word of warning for Smurf tube. Pulling the wire can be harder. I
wouldn't use 1/2" unless it is really short run. Don't bend it unless
you have to. You can't put more than 360 Deg bends between junction
boxes. I would pull the wire before I covered everything up.
