anyone have any experience using it? Care to share model numbers you have had good experience with?
I am looking at it for a system in a hose down area that probably would not last long if it was just painted.
I started out to think maybe just make a big plastic pipe (2 X 4" possibly) into a chase and run cables through it, but I am having second thoughts as it would require a lot of labor to drill holes in the wall of the pipe to thread the cables in, along with the hassle of trying to thread 40 some cables through the pipe to the end.
I am not sure the code applies in this application, but in looking at the nonmetallic raceway section it seems to suggest that signaling circuits are not subject to derating as CCC. It specifically exempts control circuits for motor starters.
I have mostly small 24 VDC solenoid valves, so that would seem to be a similar type of circuit. If I had been thinking up front I could have made them class 2 circuits but I didn't.
OTOH, it is part of a factory assembly so does not really have much to do with the code. But, it got me to thinking some. You know how dangerous that can be.
