Clearance from heater to conduit

[Jennie1220]

Is this a code violation? If so what is the reference?

Thank you

The only violation I see is the missing cover on that C.

Ha yeah I am not done.. I havent even finished pulling wire... I was just curious if there was any violation running RMC that close to the heater

Given the distance of the raceway from the heat source I don't see any issues. You could always adjust the conductor ampacity for the raise in air temperature but the 10'/10% rule probably wouldn't change a thing.

The only issue would be if the heat source causes the temperature of the conductors to rise above their rating of 90° C.

I'd say as long as it's not putting out air above 194 degrees farenheit things should be ok...

Also, those louvers should be adjusted downward to blow downward not up as they are. You want the hot air down at floor level.
