conduit issue
(OP)
is there any violation if someone is using a sch.80 PVC intended for water piping to be used in electrical application?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: conduit issue
dpc is correct about the listing although I would make a correction that it doesn't need to be UL listed, only listed by a qualified independent testing laboratory. I like UL but they have been getting difficult to work with so a lot of companies are using ETL and other labs.
RE: conduit issue
Yes, that would be true, subject to acceptance by AHJ. But I don't think I've never seen an ETL labeled conduit. Most engineering specs require UL labeling.
Even if you found the Sched 80 water pipe identical to the conduit, it wouldn't make any difference - you still couldn't use it unless it was marked for electrical conduit use - unless you want to make an issue of with local inspector - and I wouldn't hold my breath on that.
