Since my partially finished basement had a flood and mold problem, the lower drywall has been cut away exposing non load bearing studs.
It's a good time to add outlets to this room as well as the room above it, while the studs are accessible.
I thought about adding some LV conduit for future proofing to allow cat5/6, CATV, telco, HDMI, speakers, etc. if needed. Using LV device rings with or without ENT seems to be a common practice. However, another project should leave me with extra 3/4" flexible metal conduit ("Greenfield").
I don't see anything that says I can't use Flex or for that matter EMT. I am not sure if the flex needs to be grounded or bonded to anything for LV. In line voltage, the flex would be bonded at the metal junction boxes with continuous path to ground via the main panel (hopefully!).
Can I use a single-gang LV device ring with a plastic ENT knockout (e.g. http://ift.tt/18lf4A6) to attach the flex or am I required to use metal boxes?
Thanks!
