I'm planning on running 10 gauge wire. Should I use stranded 10 gauge wire (more expensive) OR a 10/3 Romex? The Wire will be routed out the floor and along the frame to their termination points. Either one will be inside flexible plastic conduit.
Any thoughts?
Either stranded or solid wire is fine, Romex is not really rated for use inside conduit. "Single strand" stranded or solid building wire unlike Romex should be run in a conduit.
In the past, I was able to buy single strand at a lower cost per ft because of bulk pricing but when you add in the cost of conduit actually made it more expensive option than Romex. If the wiring is exposed to potential damage hazards then conduit might be better option over Romex.
