Is it legal according to the NEC to run a green wire of the same gauge along side of the old romex that had no ground wire, and wire it to the panel and outlet box? (I know local code might differ). I am just asking because I want to move my computer and there is only 2 wire (no ground) romex going to that outlet. I would change the romex, except that it's stapled inside the wall, and I am not tearing open the wall. However, I think I can fish a #12 green wire up there.
I dont have the NEC book. Does anyone know?
Thanks
