Ok, can lighting going into drop ceiling in a commercial application..........do the lights have to be tied off to ceiling like the grid? I can't find a code reference saying they do but I could be overlooking it. Thanks in advance for your help!
We tie off exits, cans, pendants.
Also shoot wires for all conduit.
ID wires with paint is now standard here.
One more question.......sorry I should probably start a new thread?? But is there an article that focuses on Commercial Kitchens? We're doing a carry out pizza joint and I wanted to do some homework ahead of time. Maybe the pizza joint wouldn't fall under that anyways. Thanks in advance for your help.....by the way different job than the can lights.
Is that a local amend? NEC says only in fire rated ceilings do they need to be identified.
I thought in the 2008 code that all support wires had to be identified. (we're still in the 2005 and it is only required above fire rated ceilings).
Not in the 2008, but a proposal was accepted to require identification of all independant ceiling wires installed to support electrical equipment for the 2011 NEC. This is ROP 3-34.
