what is the best outlet & j/ boxes to use in a barn with horses?
I would pipe it all and use wp boxes.what is the best outlet & j/ boxes to use in a barn with horses?
There is a type of NM cable NM-C intended for this application, but its not common.
I would suggest PVC sch 80 with PVC FS boxes, run guard strips on each side to protect from chewing and damage.
Ever been grabbed for shoplifting?What is a guard strip?

I think what Tom means is put up a physical barrier that will prevent a horse from accessing the device boxes with its mouth, but will still allow a person to use the device. For example, some strips of wood on either side of the box that project out several inches.What is a guard strip?

Power Tech,
547.5, Wiring Methods, does not list EMT as an approved raceway, or is a horse barn not covered in 547? I ask because I am pricing a horse barn project.
I would say that emt is not approved. It seems that any metallic raceway other than MC which is aluminum sheath, is not allowed. I bet the corrosive atmosphere has something to do with it.
