EMT Vs FMC

[Alwayslearningelec]

Have a lounge I'm bidding with a lot of millwork. They want EMT everywhere. I'm thinking that some of these locations EMT wouldn't be practical, and FMC would be better. Thoughts?

From the screenshot I'm guessing that you're not going to be running EMT through that millwork. FMC or MC would be other options. How are you getting the circuit to the millwork? Poke thru or chopping a floor chase?

That is my question. EMT doesn't seem practical. Exactly why I don't know...lol. One reason I see is the radius/shape of the millwork but there is some that's straight.

The millwork should have some sort of built in chase for your wiring. IMO MC cable would be the obvious choice or FMC if the building doesn't allow MC.
