So I've been asking around on various web sites and various people about putting a wire chase in my wall before having cellulose blown in. Apparently, it is not code to pull Romex through any kind of conduit, except in a few limited cases. It has to do with heat loading of the wires. Individual, single conductors, are rated to 75 degrees C, but Romex or multiconductor wires are only rated to 60 degrees C. So it seems that I will have to run the wire chase, then pull a bunch of single conductor wires through which I bet makes for some interesting times making sure that you have the right set of wires connected to what you expect to have them connected to.
