Exterior raceways shall be designed to be suitable for use in wet conditions and to drain. Which of the following statements is true?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not specified
• D. Only for indoor use

Answer: (A)

Exterior raceways must be able to withstand moisture and allow any water that gets in to drain away. Outdoor installations face rain, humidity, and condensation, so raceways used outdoors are designed for wet locations and include drainage paths to prevent water from pooling inside. This helps avoid corrosion, insulation damage, and electrical faults. Using wet-location rated materials and weatherproof fittings, ensuring tight, watertight terminations, and providing slopes or drainage points where appropriate all support this requirement. So the statement is true.
