I need to temporarily run a length of romex 6/2 with ground ( rated for
inside use) across my flat roof.. I expect it'll be up there maybe two or
three weeks. Is it o.k. as is...or should I run it in electrical pvc
conduit to keep the sun off it while it is in temporary use ? (live in
Phoenix...still about 98-103 during the days)

Thanks, Tim




It depends on whether you tell anyone or not. Seriously. (I would
probably run aluminum triplex cable cuz it's cheap and it's designed for
outdoor use -- but it's not really rated for this application either.)

Attach it with a plug instead of hardwiring it and it won't matter so
much whether it meets code or not.
