can you used pvc pipes in a commerical business kitchen
PVC is cheaper but is used differently. PVC is usually baried in ground and emt usually runs exposed. You can use PVC exposed if it is schedule 80 gray PVC electrical conduit. Schedule 40 is for under ground
Yes, if it is rigid PVC conduit approved for electrical installations. Don't use PVC water pipe as it will be rejected if inspected.
yes! i install emt,grc,imc and PVC in block walls everyday.
Yes.
No, according to the electrical code the cable has to have a underground rating. That said many home owners do install indoor rated cable in PVC black water pipe and bury it for outdoor installations.
If it's a PVC conduit, yes it will work. I would test on a sample first, to be certain.
PVC stands for Poly Vinyl Chloride. It is the chemical compounds that make up plastic. In short PVC conduit is plastic pipe that is used in the electrical trade. The lengths are glued together with PVC glue and usually used for underground electrical systems. It comes Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 (thicker) and comes in the same sizes as metal conduit Electrical PVC conduit is usually grey; plumbing PVC pipe is usually white

PVC conduit is better then metal as it won't corrod under ground and theres less of a chance of electrical shortages.
An electrical conduit is a tube used to protect and route electrical wiring in a building or nonbuilding structure. Electrical conduit may be made of metal, plastic, fiber, or fired clay. Most conduit is rigid, but flexible conduit is used for some purposes.
Poly Vinyl Chloride composition is used for many products these days. Junction boxes, fittings and conduit are a few products that are made for the electrical trade that are made out of PVC. Most electrical engineered underground installations specify that PVC conduit be used because of its resistance to corrosion. Steel conduit systems, that PVC replaces, were found to disintegrate after a few years in the ground.
For underground conduit runs, PVC is by far the better of the two conduit systems.

No you shouldn't. It will fail inspection. Use electrical (grey) conduit. It is about the same price and has the proper electrical insulating properties required. The thicker PVC(schedule 40) is best, although schedule 80 is acceptable. (Schedule 40 is required for underground service feeders.)
Generally, when using PVC conduit you should also run a ground wire.

There are no advantages or disadvantages over which type of junction box to be used on electrical wiring. As long as the junction box is of an approved type (CSA or UL approved). It is cost or location which dictates which boxes will be used. PVC boxes for home wiring are the cheapest. Aluminium or steel are usually used in rigid or EMT conduit systems. PVC again when the conduit system involves underground wiring. In large electrical installations it is the electrical engineer that states what the conduit system type is and what type of electrical junction boxes that must be used.
