Although I am inquiring about a Hospital installation I believe my question is just standard practice in any application.
A spec book asks for any run over 100 feet be installed in EMT with a minimum of #10 AWG. Drawings are requesting 15A branch circuits
throughout. Is it code to run #10 AWG the first 100 feet to a pull box and then continue with #12 armored cable to the receptacle locations all about the walls,floors and ceilings? I say no... but I can't convince anyone this comes under the 6' tap rule. Am I wrong?
