return air wiring?

[Frank P. Newman]

Is romex / SE wiring permitted to be routed within a return air plenum?

Frank,

We just went over this in this thread...http://www.nachi.org/forum/f48/cold-air-returns-36020/

Sorry - I missed that previous discussion. However, as usual, there are quite a variety of opinions.

Yea, I would'nt request removal. I'd simply write it up either way.

In the US, the wiring may run horizontal through that return bay, but may not run parallel with the framing members.
