Romex by flexible gas line

[Gary Kowalczyk]

Is it permitted to run NM cable (Romex) in the same stub opening of a finished wall of an exterior residential wall (concealed raceway) as a flexible gas line?

Gary, are you asking if they can come out the same hole drilled in the side of the house?

sorry for the typo.

I meant to type in the same "stud opening", not "stub". I just meant in the same wall stud opening. I am very limited in paths to the light switch, and the homeowner already ran a flexible gas line for his grill in the opening for the light switch. I guess I could fit some conduit in the opening if that would be permitted.

No, I was asking about running the romex in the same stud (not stub) opening down an exterior wall that the flexible gas line is already running down.
