Did you copy all that or type it. If you copied it, where can I go to do the same ?
Thanks.

I was rereading that article. Am I to understand/interpet that 2008 NEC 312.5 (C) (b) will only allow the raceway to be used if it extends 'above' the panel?? So if you ran it horizontal (sideways) you could not run romex in it??
