Can I use NMB wire for this? If not, what must I use. Thanks for the

Using NM in mortar is specifically prohibited by the NEC.
You can use MC or MI, or run nonmetallic conduit.

BTW. Respectfully suggest try asking this question on
<alt.home.repair> they are a pretty knowledgeable and helpful group.


Also, respectfully suggest you seek an answer _off_the_internet. Most any
electrical supply joint will have credible people whom you can ask. Don't
just ask around in random places until someone tells you what you would
prefer to hear.

Ed's suggestion is valid, "You can use MC or MI {rated cable}, or run
nonmetallic conduit."

My copy of the NEC says the same thing. No surprise.
