Where in the NEC?

[hardworkingstiff]

I once read a code section that stated that abandoned wiring was required to be removed from the conduit. Can anyone post the section that requirement is in or has it been removed (when)?

Thanks,

Not sure what you are looking for but there are these 2 articles.

820.25 Abandoned Cables.
The accessible portion of abandoned coaxial cables shall be removed. Where cables are identified for future use with a tag, the tag shall be of sufficient durability to withstand the environment involved.

830.25 Abandoned Cables.
The accessible portion of abandoned network-powered broadband cables shall be removed. Where cables are identified for future use with a tag, the tag shall be of sufficient durability to withstand the environment involved.

640.3(A)
645.5(D)(6)
725.3(B)
760.3(A)
770.3(A)
770.154(B)
800.3(C)
800.154(A)&(B)(1)
820.3(A)
820.154(B)(1) & (D)
830.3(A)

I have the most awesome unbelieveable photographic memory of the NEC.
Of course I also have the disk...which helps me to think I have the most awesome unbelieveable photographic memory of the NEC.
