Uses
Uses Permitted for Metallic Wireways:
1. For exposed work.
2. In concealed spaces as permitted in NEC section 376.10.
3. In hazardous (classified) locations as permitted by NEC® articles 501, 502, and 504.
4. As extension through walls if the length passing through a wal is unbroken and access to conductors can be mained
