Question:
Can I use a structural steel tube as a wireway/raceway for a wire and wall outlet? The 1.75 square tube is also the vertical spline in wall sips panel.

A
Answer:
Hey Craig thanks for your question. No. Single conductors need to be installed as a recognized wiring method as stated in 300.3(A) You might be able to use one of the flexible wiring methods in Chapter 3 and fish the cable or raceway through the steel tube and connect it to an outlet box. Check with the AHJ to make sure they agree.
