The discussion about an 8 ft rule is in regards to accessibility, not physical damage.
Two completely independent topics… Glenn From: RE-wrenches <[email protected]> On Behalf Of August Goers Sent: Friday, July 17, 2020 10:32 PM To: RE-wrenches <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [RE-wrenches] protecting wire below 8' Hi Kirk - We work in San Francisco where they have a local code amendment: <https://codelibrary.amlegal.com/codes/san_francisco/latest/sf_building/0-0-0-84935> 300.4(I) Add the following section: (I) Subject to Physical Damage. Premises wiring systems installed less than 2.44 m (8 feet) above a walking surface or finished floor are considered subject to physical damage. As far as I'm aware otherwise, there is not a specific definition specifying 8' for physical damage in the broader NEC - I think it's just up to the AHJ.
