I have a finished garage, and need to put in another NEMA 14/50
I installed the one for my car, but that was a whopping 2' from the breaker. So.. rather easy.
I know I need 6/3, and I've wired whole houses before. Problem is I wire before drywall. I've never done after work.
I don't want to to cut the drywall, remove insulation, drill, run, etc. etc. Not going to happen. The outlet and breaker on opposite endsof a 2 car garage. As far apart as you can get.
Anyway, can I think I can run normal 6/3 above drywall, and use some surface wiring channel material. Some of the run will be in an attic space, some will be above the drywall. It's along the wall, above the garage door, so it won't be touched/contacted by anything, and it's high and dry. I think the metal covered 6/3 would be overkill and $$
thoughts? the 3 only pulls 32 amps as well, so heat shouldn't be an issue.. But I'll run based on a 50 amp load as that's what the plug is.
