Answer:
Hi Peter,
Thanks for the question.
Based on this information in the questions, the short answer is no. See Section 358.22 and Note 2 to Table 1 in Chapter 9 which says Table 1 applies only to complete conduit or tubing systems and is not intended to apply to sections of conduit or tubing used to protect exposed wiring from physical damage.
