exterior underground flexible conduit?
is there flexible electrical conduit that is available for exterior undergound purposes that is UL backed/tested?
we are installing cedar pergola – electrician is running wire from basement, 12″in below concrete patio slab & conduit must feed into channel that is bored in cedar post 8″ x 8″ atop an already poured foting.
electrician suggests tearing up cured concrete footing and redoing poured footing with rigid pvc in poured footing. Architect suggested boring out heavy duty aluminum post brackets to create an open channel for conduit to sweep into hollow channel in post(conduit coming from side of footing versus through footing). Electrician claims this is not acceptable.
any insight or advice?

Couple of things.
They have a pvc coated mc cable that is made for direct burial.
Also there is a metal lined sealtite that is suitable for direct bury as well.
