Using much 12/2/2 NM cable?

You don't have to identify MWBC's that arrive by way of cables anyhow in the 2008. Pipe, yes. Cables, no.

That is almost correct, here is an example. Multiple MWBC's in a raceway need to be identified.

14-2-2 is not a multiwire branch circuit.

Yes I know that. Not my point at all.

Then you completely lost me in you post... :grin: Probably help if I re-read your first post.

Now that I did not know. We are still on 2005. But thanks for the info about it, cause now I know. For pipe jobs it does make sense. I just wish we they allowed a twisting together of the conductors as well as the cable tie's.

You could use string if you wanted to. Maybe a good time to bone up on the lost art of cable lacing? :smile:

Sorry, but that is not true as a blanket statement, read the article section and its Exception closely.

Just a bit before my time I think. I have only seen it once or twice and boy was I impressed with that stuff. Looking at cable lacing and some of the knob and tube jobs, earns respect for the way things got done in the old days. Maybe not as safe as today's wiring, but detailed and of high craftsmanship.
