Does that comply with (2) "The raceway extends directly above the enclosure and does not penetrate a structural ceiling"?I’m using 312.5C, Exemption No. 1.

I tried to take a picture of it in my code book, but it says the file size is too big or something for the server.
The basic gist is as long as you secure it within 1 ft of the end of the raceway, your good. There’s several other parts of the exception as well, but it’s all pretty easy stuff.
It’s either being left open or drywalled. I made sure the homeowner knows he can drywall it, just needs to put a slide out in so there remains access to the end of the chases. I doubt it will be finished though. Pretty much just a utility roomDoes that comply with (2) "The raceway extends directly above the enclosure and does not penetrate a structural ceiling"?
Admittedly there is no ceiling now, but is the structural ceiling not the bottom of the joists, i.e. the structure onto which the ceiling material could be applied?

If it's drywalled, I would think having the raceways extend above the drywall definitely means the installation does not meet condition 2 of 312.5C, Exemption No. 1.It’s either being left open or drywalled.

As long as accessibility is maintained it will be fine. Thanks.If it's drywalled, I would think having the raceways extend above the drywall definitely means the installation does not meet condition 2 of 312.5C, Exemption No. 1.
