WireMold installation question

Another good reason not to use wiremold. They do make a wiremold bender, theoretically you could make a bend over the existing raceway. You could also use two mousetraps and a piece of wiremold flex, and go over the existing raceway. You could also notch the sheetrock and drill the studs and use romex.

You could install a surface wiremold box. Cut out the attachment tabs at top and bottom (or sides) and run one wiremold straight through the box. Terminate the other wiremold at the box normally and run the wires through. You can't have the wires for both loose in the box. I would strongly prefer to run the power straight through, but it would be more work.

There are "bushings" that are required at cut ends of wiremold. You probably already know about them.

An interesting solution, I don't know if it would conform to the intention of the code, but it seems like a safe enough solution.

I believe it conforms to the letter and intent of the NEC.

I thought of that (but did wonder about the Code compliance), but in fact I think I'll just run Romex through the wall (between the studs) for that section of the installation, come out through the sheetrock into the back of a surface-mount Wiremold box, then continue with individual conductors in Wiremold raceway from that point on.

Yes.

Put a surface mount electrical outlet box where they cross.

You can't have line and low voltage wires in the same box. That's why I was wondering about Bud's solution of running one conduit straight through the box. I don't know if that conforms to code or not. I don't see a problem with it, but I don't know.

??? I thought putting 110 and low-voltage in the same box was a no-no?
