Question:
Hello Code Friends. Does the exception in Section 300.11(B)(2) allow flexible metal conduit to be supported by an acoustical rated ceiling support wire, if the manufacturers installation allows it? Thanks, John Thompson
A
Answer:
Hi John, great question. The use of ceiling support wires would be permitted for the support of Flexible Metalllic Conduit (FMC) if the manufacturer of the suspended ceiling/grid system permits it in accordance with Section 300.11(B)(2)Exception. Also see Section 348.30 for securing and supporting requirements of FMC.
