Applications and Features:
MC-AP™ HCF Type MC All Purpose Hospital Care Facility products comply with NEC 200.4 requirements (added in the 2011 NEC) for the installation and marking of neutral conductors. Neutrals are not to be used for more than one circuit (branch, multiwire branch, or ungrounded feeder). See NEC 200.4 for complete requirements.
MC-AP™ HCF Type MC All Purpose Hospital Care Facility is suitable for use as follow:
Branch-circuit wiring for patient care areas of hospitals, medical centers, and other health care facilities (when installed in accordance with NEC® Articles 517 and 330, and mechanically protected per Article 300.4). Such areas include nursing homes, dental offices, clinics, and outpatient facilities. Use in hazardous anesthetizing areas is prohibited. Fished or embedded in plaster. Concealed or exposed installations. Environmental air-handling spaces per NEC 300.22 (C). Places of Assembly per NEC 518.4 and theaters per NEC 520.5. Installation in cable tray and approved raceways. Under raised floors for information technology equipment conductors and cables per NEC 645.5(D) & 645.5(D)(2) Class I Div. 2, Class II Div 2, & Class III Div. 1 Hazardous Locations. Use with UL Listed MCI-A fittings. Binder tape with print legend wrapped around assembly. Type THHN/THWN rated 90ºC Dry. Armor is in contact with aluminum grounding/bonding conductor and serves as a redundant equipment grounding path component

† Ampacities based upon 2023 NEC Table 310.16 and do not take into account the overcurrent protection limitations in NEC 240.4(D) of 15 Amps for 14 AWG CU, 20 Amps for 12 AWG CU, and 30 Amps for 10 AWG CU (independent of the conductor temperature rating and stranding if size is present in table). Also, see NEC sections 310.15 and 110.14(C) for additional requirements.
† Ampacities have been adjusted for more than Three Current-Carrying Conductors.
* Inductive impedance is based on non-ferrous conduit with one diameter spacing.
