Hi
Is it OK to run NM along an I beam and if so what is the best way to secure it?
Thank You

No code against it but it needs support at least every 4.5 feet.

Where I work I noticed a fire sprinkler that is run along an I beam and they actually used some sort of C clamp to support it. I imagine something like this may be acceptable for electrical as well. Maybe a piece of wood securely C clamped then staple to piece of wood. Not sure if this is the officially accepted way though.
