I know it is up to code, but it is not standard. The flexibility of
romex in conduit is ridiculous. It just doesn't make the turns real
well. Have plenty of lube on hand and a helper.

Romex is for installations outside conduit. It doesn't make sense to
use this type of wire in a conduit.


I concur. I wouldn't consider running NM through a conduit unless it was
just to protect a short stretch of it. Bill would be far better off to pick
up some THHN at the local Home Depot if he wants to run in conduit. It's
much easier to push/pull than fighting with NM, and you can pack more
conductors (with THHN) into any given diameter of conduit than you can with
NM. If one is getting elaborate with switching, that starts to become a
consideration very quickly. Hang a piece of 3/4" conduit up on the ceiling
and you can run 16 12ga wires through it. Or... one piece of 12/2 NM. Put
a bend in that conduit and you'll wish you had used THHN before long.
