    Wiring question

    I'm building an office/clean space in my shop. Shop is c purlin with roll insulation and tin on top. I'm framing the walls to sit against the purlin not using purling as part of the wall. My question is do I run Romex through the studs like a house or so I need to run conduit between the studs and existing insulation?

      Thanks. Being able to run Romex would make my life easier.

        Hard to tell. Not sure what your plan is for the new office ceiling. I would drop romex through the top plate then through the studs to receptacles on the purlin side. The other sides are a no brainer.

          Will be running a couple of 110 plug in machines, drill press, air brush, pantograph, shop vac a microwave and ceiling will be decked so that it can be walked on and have 2x8 joist and covered on the inside. Fuse panel is to the right just off picture. All 4 walls will be framed, insulated and covered in plywood in the inside and the wall that faces the forging shop will be covered in plywood on that side as well.

            If it were mine, I'd run romex between the studs and the insulation for those walls. No need to drill through those studs, and you won't see it anyway. I'd actually lay it on top of the purlin that all your stuff is sitting on right now. It would also be easy to fish romex along that wallspace in the future as well. The other walls and ceiling would be run through the studs, top plates, and ceiling joists just like house wiring.
