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. I don’t think you can run 12/2 NM and still comply with The NEC. How far is the distance? If the distance is very short I don’t think it matters. |
