There is any NEC requierments for intallation of outlet's box or conduits inside dry wall ( gebsuim Board ) .

Please advise
 
Could you be a little more specific with the questions? What information are you looking for? There are many requirements for the installation of boxes and conduits within gyp board walls.
 
My Q is : it is acceptable or not to use wooden plate to support outlet box inside the gyp. board walls and also it is acceptable to use PVC conduits & boxes inside this type of wall


Please advise which NEC article should be follow it for this issue

Are you talking residential, commercial and are their fire codes to consider, etc?
 
As simple as it is for some of us to install boxes without thinking about it, there are a lot of parameters to think about when and where the different type of boxes can and cannot be installed and how to install them.
If you have access to the NEC, you should take a look at Article 314.
