So I'm helping wire a new movie theatre. The exterior walls are cinder block, the interior are metal studs. There is a small (like 1") void between them. My journeyman had me run some exit light circuits around the whole perimeter. I'm not sure I approve of the method he had me use to install it (I'm going to keep my mouth shut cause I'm an apprentice, but I'd like to see if anyone has any ideas or opinions on this).
1) He had me run the MC cable in the void between the metal stud wall and the cinder block wall. Is this okay?
2) He gave me a bag of zip ties to hang the MC from the pre-punched holes in the studs. Can't get a drill back there to attach regular MC straps. Are zip ties okay for supporting MC?
