3/4" FLEX RUN THRU WIREWAY

3/4" FLEX RUN THRU WIREWAY

3/4" FLEX RUN THRU WIREWAY

(OP)
Can you run a 3/4" FLEX thru a wireway to isolated emergency panel circuits and not have a fitting on your exit point to a panel below. I have seen a area where they came from a panel with flex and used a connector to the panel then just cut holes in the wireway entrance and exit then connected to another wireway with a fitting.
Can someone quote a code # on this voilation?

RE: 3/4" FLEX RUN THRU WIREWAY

Hey, you've posted this exact same question in both the IEC and IEEE forums (see Thread242-71722 ).  What country are you in?

RE: 3/4" FLEX RUN THRU WIREWAY

You will have to provide more specifics.

1     What type of installation?
2     What type of power involved?
3     What voltages involved?
4     Size of wireway?
5     Total number and size of conductors in wireway?


There are instances where such an installation would pass NEC given a few variables, including proper  sealing.  However, the additional information is required.
