Hi All
First time on this forum and it looks real nice.I'm going to be moving my shop to an unfinished basement and have to install a sub-panel and all the wiring for lights and equipment. My thought right now is to use all 12-2 romex for the lights and electrical outlets.Of cause I'll run a few circuits for the lights and power for the tools and some heavier 220v lines.Would it be ok to run 12/2 romex to the metal junction boxes and then 1/2" conduit down the wall to the outlets or can I just install a few 2"X 3/4" boards down the wall and run the romex down the board? From what I've read it's not code to run romex cable thru the conduit, because it's not type excepted. So I can run type THHN from the ceiling junction boxes thru the conduit. Sure would be easier just working with the romex.The new shop will be a 1000sq ft in the basement in comparison to my 1 car garage shop which is around 230sq FT so I'm really excited about getting more space.My new house is in Hawley Pa. if any of you are in that area.
