Question:
Hello and thanks for this NEC information. Our question relates to NM cable being installed underground to a kitchen island. The inspector said this is a wet location. We are hoping you can offer an independent opinion on this that is NEC-based.
Thanks.

Answer:
Hi Howard and thanks for the question.
The simple answer is NM cable is suitable for use in dry locations. Section 300.5(B). Contractors often installed Type UF cable in underground PVC sleeves installed to kitchen islands. Hope this is useful.
