Outside Steel Conduit Joints.

We must maintain mechanical and electrical continuity of steel conduit, so can't use P.T.F.E tape or Loctite 55 at screwed joints to keep them watertight. Has anyone ever had water ingress at screwed conduit joints outside? 543.3.6.

I've installed 1000's of bundles of metal tubing, over the years', and never had any problems.
Why would anyone apply any PTFE???
The only advice I would offer is that when I fit bessa boxes, outside, I always drilled a hole, in the bottom of them, to allow any ingress to escape. IF you damage any areas, (and you shouldn't really - if you're careful), then apply some red lead paint.
