Do I Need To Use Conduit In The Attic. I cannot find this specifically in code so here is my question. I plan on finishing the basement this year and want to ensure i run the correct wires ahead of time should i wish to install an antenna or security system in the attic at some point. When romex is run across rafters in an open unfinished attic it is my position that a raceway of some kind 1x3 s or even 2x4 s should first be attached across the affected rafters perhaps 3 to 4 above the joists then the wiring be stapled to the raceway.
Is the wire supposed to be in conduit through the wall and attic to the breaker. I plan on finishing the basement this year and want to ensure i run the correct wires ahead of time should i wish to install an antenna or security system in the attic at some point.
Spacing is a major factor in deciding whether to use conduit.
Electrical conduit is designed for use with specific types of individual conductor wires. Water heaters can lights and attic vents are great examples of typical flexible conduit installation. I cannot find this specifically in code so here is my question. This will protect the wiring from being accidentally snagged.
