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.


When Dad, an electrician, had to do it he pulled the wire through the
conduit before installing it - goes through the bends and LBs a lot
easier that way. Using stranded wire involves junction boxes and
joints when transitioning from "protected by conduit" to "not
requiring protection" or "protected by existing structure"

you never run romex in conduit!!!
You run multistrand wires in conduit.



Never say never - in industry everything in conduit is separate
conductors, but NMS cable in conduit for protection is rather common
in residential applications. And it DOES meet code.

You can always run some romex in metal conduit on the outside of the
wall. It doesn't look all that sexy. But is is often done in shops. Not
much mess with that approach. Just find the wood behind the drywall to
attach the conduit. Conduit attaches easily to the outlet boxes. Lights
and outlets can them be added to the outlet boxes.
