Hi, I have a wood floor to ceiling cabinet in this house I bought. Inside, underneath a shelf, is a 14 gauge Romex line that goes from the wall on the left to a box with an outlet on the right. The Romex is stapled to the underside of one of the shelves.
Is this even close to being code ?
Does the wire need to be run through a conduit ?
I've seen other wires just stapled to a board on a wall, like the 110 line for a washer in a basement.
Thank you.
As long as the shelf is fixed, not movable, and the cable is securely fastened, I don't see a reason why not.
Thanks ! I'll help throw that tea, too.
Does your local code require conduit? I know to most here this is a silly question, but in Chicago-land area, everything must be in conduit, or BX allowed for short fixture runs only, no exceptions.
I can ask a friend of a friend on that.
Chicago doesn't even allow PVC plumbing, do they ?
