No. You already know this.



This is s judgment call. To say this is an area that is not subject to damage is a bit naive in my opinion.




No.



It's not at all prohibited. It's just Sch40 is EXPRESSLY not rated for protecting NM from physical damage. Physics aside. I am talking about in the eyes of the NEC.

Besides, you know as well as I do that we do NOT follow the NEC for one and two family dwellings in NYS.

When I quote codes on boards like this one I use the NEC, unless of course the poster is in NY .

Of course it's not prohibited. Unless, of course, your reason for using it was to protect against physical damage. If protection against physical damage was your reason for using it, it's simply not rated for that use. If you just felt like using it for any other reason besides physical protection, it's certainly not prohibited.

I can just barely belive that in 2008 this is even a matter of contest.
