Sealtite can be run in "wet" locations like underground, and when it is,

While you could do it, I thought that
once a low voltage wire was contained
in a conduit or raceway, it has to be
treated as a line voltage conductor, even
after it emerges from the conduit.

In the heat pump there will be separate compartments for line and low
voltage. He would have to maintain line voltage conductors until he's into
the low voltage compartment. IMO it's not a practical way to wire the thing

Noon-Air, get a life. So I guess you are a competent, yatta yatta,
licensed blah blah. Go sniff some more freon!!
Howard, check with your inspector. If you can route the tstat wiring
along the outside of the conduit that has the power wiring, just do
that and buy some wire ties. Of course, if you need it protected
because of animals, heathens, teenagers running weedeaters, then just
run the flippin thing in another piece of flex.
Congratulations for doing your own work. It saves a hell of a lot of
money and you won't rip yourself off like a lot of competent, insured
blah blah contractors will, and you will do a better job then a lot
of them. Go for it!!
