Is conduit pipes needed for low voltage landscape lighting in NYC?

Blueiceman646 asked:


Hello,

Does anyone know if NYC code requires conduit pipes for low voltage wiring around an outdoor garden area?

If so, does the conduit need to be running along the floor or can it be mounted along a concrete wall?

Thanks.

    call the local building code inspection office you dont have to tell them who you are just ask the question or call the local electrical supply house where the pros shop they know they sell the parts then go to the local home depot and tell them your plan and ask for the electric sales guy he can help you choose the right stuff

    No specific experience in NYC but elsewhere, you do not need conduit with low voltage.

    Conduit is to protect the wires from wear to minimize chances of electrocution or fire. Low voltage wiring is designed not to allow either condition so damage to the wire itself is not a primary concern.

    Good Luck!
