Conduit from attic to closest.
So just use like 1 conduit and a large junction box in the attic and or basement.
2 romex into the attic the romex probable needs to be clamped so hopefully i can position the solardeck in a way that a short run of plastic conduit lands near a diagonal roof member to mount a junction box which will only be used for the clamp no actual electrical junction.
I am concerned with the integrity of the wire and want to run a new wire from my attic which is closest to the fixture to my breaker box in the basement.
Of course removing the floor area in the general area will solve the issue but the drill bit will locate exactly where the access will be needed.
Conduit from basement to attic allows wiring run to the second floor interior walls and ceilings.
From the nearest edge of the framing member or furring strips where nails or screws are likely to penetrate.
And leave a pull string for the next ones.
Once located you need only remove the floor where needed to get to and from the wall space.
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.
Hi i had the builder install a conduit from the attic to the basement when i purchased the home.
What is the code for electrical wiring in an attic going over the joists and be stapled or drilled through.
And running conduit up the outside.
You would transition from your nms in the junction box to thwn which is pulled into the panel.
The nm b cable doesn t have to be in conduit unless it s exposed to potential damage.
If you have an unfinished basement running cabling to the main floor walls is not difficult for those skilled to do such.
That being said conduit would be your safest choice.
