A
Answer:
Greetings Thomas Simpson, yes the NM Cable can be installed in in the EMT from outlet to outlet as described in the question. You find the information in Section 358.22 which, indicates that cables shall be permitted to be installed where such use is not prohibited by the respective cable articles. The number of cables shall not exceed the allowable percentage fill specified in Table 1, Chapter 9. A review of Section 334.12 did not reveal a restriction on the use described.
