Laundry Circuits

I have a customer who wants to run two circuits for an existing laundry closet that is located in a finished breezeway which is on a slab. I need to run the circuits across the unfinished basement and poke through to the laundry closet. They want two circuits in there due to the gas dryer, iron, washer, and rechargeable vacuum. The gas dryer is already installed, so working behind it will be a pain. In any case, would you just emt behind the washer and dryer on the finished Sheetrock wall? Sketch attached


Separate question. If you’re installing a subpanel that has two factory installed ground bars the housing of the panel is sufficient, you don’t need to add a jumper between them, correct?

1) EMT is permitted as long as the customer doesn't mind the aesthetic.
2) Listed EGC bar installed in a panel to the metal enclosure with the provided mounting screws does not require a bonding jumper.

Would you use EMT, or would you do something else?

I thought I could also run across the bottom of the wall in emt to a surface mounted 4” square then snake up the bay for receptacles.
I’m just looking for the easiest way to do this

Yes your method is fine. Sounds like the EMT wouldn't even be very visible. The easiest way is to surface mount the EMT and forget snaking the wall but that may only be acceptable if the customer doesn't mind seeing EMT run up the wall.
