Question:
Can electrical conduits be run in a concrete floor or must they be a distance below the bottom of the slab?
Pat Murphy
A
Answer:
Hey Pat thanks for your question. You don't mention the type of conduit but many different types of wiring methods are allowed to be embedded in concrete. Unless required for a specific type or by the instructions then a distance below a concrete slab is not required. Notice also that in Table 300.5 there is no minimum cover requirements under a building.
