398.2 Definition.
Open Wiring on Insulators. An exposed wiring method using cleats, knobs, tubes, and flexible tubing for the protection and support of single insulated conductors run in or on buildings.
Open wiring on insulators is an exposed wiring method that is not permitted to be concealed by the structure or finish of the building. It is permitted indoors or outdoors, in dry or wet locations, and where subject to corrosive vapors, provided the insulation choice from Table 310.13 is suitable for use in a corrosive environment.
This wiring method is no longer permitted for temporary lighting and power circuits on construction sites but is permitted for lighting and power circuits in agricultural buildings [see 547.5(A)]. It may also be used for services (see 230.43).
