I want to run EMT conduit along my concrete floor to power my lathe. The arrangement is such that I'm not worried about someone tripping over it. But it is possible that water could leak because of a broken pipe, hole in the roof, etc. and come into contact with the wiring. I plan on using compression fittings and making the conduit as water tight as I can.
Does anyone know if the national electrical code permits installing conduit on the floor? I borrowed the 2002 NEC Handbook from the local library, but I can't find any mention of where conduit should be installed. The book is
1200 pages and the index didn't help. Which chapter should I look in?
