Hello, and thank you for your question. Yes—NM‑B (Romex) may be used in a garage, but if the cable is exposed where it could be subject to physical damage, the NEC requires it to be protected in conduit or otherwise shielded. If you have any additional questions or feedback, please reach out to us at consumersupport@southwire.com.

Was this Answer Helpful ?Yes. All exposed wire should be placed into conduit to protect it and prevent accidental cutting or rodent gnawing. No exposure makes less opportunity for fire hazards as well.
