Which of the following are not

permitted for metal wire way
installations?
A. Traveling transversely through walls
B. Where subject to severe physical damage
C. At heights above 6 feet
D. Horizontally for more the 328ft.

Answer 1

Metal wire ways are not permitted at heights above 6 feet but are allowed for other installations such as traveling through walls, in cases of severe physical damage, and horizontally for more than 328ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is option C, at heights above 6 feet. Metal wire ways are not permitted to be installed at heights above 6 feet. This is because they are not designed to support heavy loads and can pose a safety risk if installed at elevated heights.

Options A, B, and D are all permitted for metal wire way installations:

1. Traveling transversely through walls is a common way to route electrical wires and cables.
2. Where subject to severe physical damage, metal wire ways can provide protection for the wires and cables inside.
3. Horizontally for more than 328ft is also permissible as long as the wire way is properly supported and installed according to industry standards.
