Really? That's the dumbest code rulejoed said:Chicago requires conduit for everything.
You can use up to 3 foot of MC. All the rest is conduit. For example, I have conduit run in the drop ceiling in my basement. For each pot light I use a small run of MC from a junction box to the light.When running a new switch leg for a light do you have to use Conduit? Can you use a Flexible armor cable?
Just correct moi if I am wrong on this part but did they used have leeway on 6 foot on MC's ? and when that change on the ChEC ( Chicago Electric Code ) ?You can use up to 3 foot of MC. All the rest is conduit. For example, I have conduit run in the drop ceiling in my basement. For each pot light I use a small run of MC from a junction box to the light.
I thought it was 3', but I can confirm with my neighbor who's an electrician.Just correct moi if I am wrong on this part but did they used have leeway on 6 foot on MC's ? and when that change on the ChEC ( Chicago Electric Code ) ?
