can indoor non metalic wire be used in crawal space

Great question! Yes — indoor NM‑B (non‑metallic sheathed cable) can be used in a crawl space as long as it is a dry, protected location, and the cable is secured properly and kept free from physical damage per NEC rules. If the crawl space is wet, damp, or subject to damage, NM‑B is not permitted, and you would need UF‑B or conduit instead. Please let us know if you need help in any other way by contacting us at consumersupport.com.

Was this Answer Helpful ?Yes, NM-B cable can be used in a crawl space because it is within the envelope of the house and considered a dry location. Some will argue that it must be put in conduit to prevent rodent damage. It is always best to consult your local building office in your are if you have any doubts.
