I know there are alot of REAL electricians that participate here.
Is it acceptable to use EMT exposed in a dwelling? Not worried about looks just wondering if by NEC 2002 if its acceptable?
Is metal-clad or armor cable acceptable to be exposed.
According to NEC 210.52(A)(1) Receptacles shall be installed so that no point measured horizontally along the floor line in any wall space is more than 1.8m (6 feet) from a receptacle outlet.
The outer walls and rear wall are all cement. There is a laundry room, bathroom, kitchen, bedroom(s), bath and living room involved...basically a house in itself but its the downstairs (comverted basement) of the 70+ year old house I inherited.
What would you recommend? Dont want to build walls if I can avoid it.
