**Answer provided by Paul Abernathy**

Greetings Marc,
Here is what the NEC says on the subject.
"310.10(B)  Dry and Damp Locations.  Insulated conductors and cables used in dry  and damp locations shall be  Types FEP, FEPB, MTW, PFA, RHH, RHW, RHW-2,  SA, THHN, THW, THW-2, THHW,  THWN, THWN-2, TW, XHH, XHHW, XHHW-2, Z, or  ZW."
And per 310.104 as well.
THHN is indeed ok in a dry and damp location, in a raceway of course.
Best Regards,

Yes, I realize and appreciate the effort you take in presenting these questions, and yes I enjoy learning from them whether or not I “win”.

And I realize and accept the final answer as determined by the AHJ (in this case, you).

But I are really bigly good when ya talkin’ bout plane Anglish.

Hugs and / or kisses…

Comprehension is the key

“Are cookies and/or ice cream your favorite dessert?”

“Cookies!”

“Cookies and ice cream!”

“Ice cream!”

All answers could be correct.

When the question is posed as an “and/or”, the meaning (and the correct response) is placed in the responder’s court.

Thankyouverymuch. Carry on.

Incorrect

And/or (also and or) is a grammatical conjunction used to indicate that one or more of the cases it connects may occur.

For example, the sentence “He will eat cake, pie, and/or brownies” indicates that although the person may eat any of the three listed desserts, the choices are not mutually exclusive; the person may eat one, two, or all three of the choices.

Critics:

The Elements of Style, say “and/or” is “A device, or shortcut, that damages a sentence and often leads to confusion or ambiguity.”

:p;)

Yea Marcel let them eat a confused cake . :slight_smile:

I’m pretty sure you meant to say “confusion and/or ambiguity”, but if it involves cake, I’ll eat it.
:mrgreen:

…and/or cookies.
