GFCI wall outlet in unfinished basement

I want to add a surface-mounted GFCI outlet on the wall in an unfinished basement (for a washing machine). *The wiring going to the outlet will be 12/2 NM. I think I can figure out how to do it if I just use a metal box and metal conduit. *But, I am wondering if there is a way that I can do it using plastic/PVC instead of metal. *I am thinking of using this type of PVC box: http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/4FYW1, and then running the 12/2 NM wire down along the wall through 1/2-inch PVC conduit to get to the box. If I do that, my question is, "Is there some type of fitting or adapter that goes on the top end of the PVC conduit where the 12/2 NM enters the PVC conduit?" If so, is that type of fitting shown anywhere in this product brochure?: http://www.kraloyfittings.com/downlo...loy%20ftgs.pdf Thanks. As long as the 12/2 has a ground wire electrically you are ok. but your local zoning may require conduit or BX, depending on how the unions have twisted the local building folks around to their more expensive way of thinking. |
