Hi all, i was wondering if anyone would be interested in the dubious defintion of sleeve in the nec.

note that we do define raceway in art 100, but not sleeve

our nec starts out defining raceway as 'enclosed'
Webster's definition(s)

2 : a channel for loosely holding electrical wires in buildings

i'm told that anything that isn't could be viewed as a sleeve wiki-definition
In construction, a sleeve is used both by the electrical and mechanical trades to create a penetration.

comments....??
