Default WireMold installation question


"Percival P. Cassidy" wrote in message
...
In order to install Wiremold metal raceway on the inside garage wall for
120v wiring for the exterior lights I need to cross an existing run of
Wiremold that carries the 24v wiring for the sprinkler system.

Would it be kosher to have the new Wiremold simply cross over the top of
the existing Wiremold and thus not be flat against the wall for the whole
of its length? Or lift the existing Wiremold away from the wall and let
the new Wiremold pass under it and thus remain flat against the wall?
Or...?

Another good reason not to use wiremold. They do make a wiremold bender,
theoretically you could make a bend over the existing raceway. You could
also use two mousetraps and a piece of wiremold flex, and go over the
existing raceway. You could also notch the sheetrock and drill the studs and
use romex.
