    OK, I know this is a pretty typical response from me to a question like this, but if you have to come to a Home & Garden wiring message board to ask about wiring for a health care facility you should not be doing this job!
    The setting here makes this even more important.

    Are you aware of the myriad of codes involved with wiring in such facilities?? You obviously do not know some of the very basics. :rolleyes:

    If you are dead insistent on doing jobs like this can I suggest you read up on the NEC, Art. 517, 220.14(I) & 210.60 in particular.

    A typical response from Stan, a typical CORRECT response from Stan. Even if you do it and do it right, how you going to get it inspected? Ever think about liability?

    Unless you are licensed and bonded as an electrician you should not be doing this type of job. We are all 3 together on this.
