Romex in a building ???

[Part-Time]

I have a building classified as a Storage Warehouse.
It will have a false ceiling with a space of about 5 feet
It is concrete with steel beams to support the roof
and will have an interior wall consisting of
2x4?s and sheetrock.
Can I use Romex in to wire this building?
I awesome not but 334.10 (3) other structures. ?

read 334.12(A) (2)

not in the suspended ceiling (334.12 (A)(2)).
it might be a call for the ahj, as far as 334.10(3) and the type of construction.

I'm pretty sure the intent is when installed in structures other than dwellings that RX is not allowed to be ran exposed. It must be behind a finish rating. Types III IV V Structures.

The OP said the walls were 2X4 and sheetrock.

Yes, but not over top of the drop ceiling. It's illegal to run romex there

Even if you could use NM in the walls, I don't think it is worth it since you cannot run it above a dropped ceiling unless it is a dwelling unit. Mc cable and go for it.

Yep.

Now do I need anti shorts/red heads?:grin:

Check the manufacture installation guide on that one. I know on Southwire HCF MC you don't need anti-shorts. It says so in the installation guide that comes in the spool of mc.

"

MC Fittings
MC must be installed using fittings that are UL listed for this product. Fittings that are only listed for
Flexible Conduits are not permitted to be used on MC cables. Listed MC cable fittings provide a
shoulder that protects conductors from any sharp edges in the armor. Anti-short bushings are not
required by the NEC? for MC cables."

Cut, copied and pasted from http://www.southwire.com/documents/MC_InstallGuide.pdf

around page #3 of the installation guide. This is for Southwire only.

here on page 3 it says no anti-short required for NEC or UL
