Our job got a red tag today because the inspector said we cant run PVC from a slab stub up, up the surface of a wall, and into the drop ceiling. He said its NOT in the NEC but is actually a "fire code". He also said that using PVC as we did will cause a fire to spread faster than using EMT. How does someone so incompetent get a job as a city inspector, and what in the world is he talking about?

Re: PVC exposed on wall
The only thing i can think of is that the drop ceiling is also a return air plenum? Is the pvc subject to physical damage at the stub up?
