Hi everyone!
Can someone please tell what should be used in a 3 story, 3 family, wood frame house with no sprinklers?
 
That could very well be addressed bystate/ local ordinance/amendment to the NEC.

Where is this property?

Call the AHJ - Mario....201-319-6057.
You probably will NOT get him during normal hours. Weehawken is on a "part-time" schedule...so try him at the Hoboken Building Department where he is "full-time"...(201) 420-2066.
 
Mario is very particular on strapping...do it right or you'll be doing it again!
Watch your device spacing - he WILL notice the difference between 12' and 13'...same for counter tops - 30" won't cut it.
Also, make sure your service load calculation is "on". If it's "off"...well, the 2nd time is "free" on a contract job :)

You will have a hard time trying to install any BX, as they stopped manufacturing BX some time in the '50s. AC- armoured cable is probably what you were thinking of. :wink:

You may be correct on manufacturing, but it was still available in the mid 60's. Haven't seen it since then though. :D
