ECN Forum Forums Code Related Discussion Building Codes for Electricians romex

I'm in harrisburg PA.Remodeling 3 story steel frame Bld. contractor wants to use romex. There is a non plenum drop cieling.
My understanding is you can't have any exposed romex in a drop cieling,plenum or not.Is this correct? Harrisburg is on 93 code. I want to use MC,don't want romex touching any steel.

Under the 93 NEC you would be fine, as long as the building is not a; Place of Assembly, Commercial Garage, Theatre, or Motion Picture Studio.

I don't see a problem with NM touching building steel.

'93 code? How often do you guys update? (Obviously not very)

Not sure about '93 Code, but I think the plenum restriction for NM was there.

Yea,I dont get it,Harrisburg in the USA? 93 code book. Or does each state take turns on which code book to use?Lets look in 334.12.
