While each jurisdiction may vary, NFPA 70
(known to some as NEC) almost always
applies when you are talking about mains.
The question is whether one could find an
obscure waiver paragraph to allow it. It has
been a few years since I read the entire thing
(it is a very large manual), but I do not recall
anything like that. Do you know of the
paragraph in NFPA 70 that allows it? Note
that the best part if you can sometimes find
an exception in one part of the manual that
is then overridden by another section. Yes,
sometimes those inconsistencies happen
(although they are always willing to address
it in the next version. The current release is
the 2014 edition, the next release is 2017).
Regardless of regulations, good practices
should always be used. This, at its base, is
good practice (to not share conduits).
