Why DIYers get in trouble.
Several years past, while living in Phoenix, one Sunday I was adding a mist system to my patio. I needed about 20’ of romex so I went to a big box rather than drive all the way to the office. I noted that the romex at the big box contained THW conductors. I mentioned to the clerk that it was illegal to use this romex in Phoenix due to the temperature rating. He admitted that it was illegal to install but he said “It’s not illegal to sell”. I then drove the 30 mile round trip to the office and obtained my THHN equipped romex.
