Where provision must be made for flexibility, one or more of the following shall be permitted:
- Listed flexible metal fittings.
- Flexible metal conduit with listed fittings.
- Interlocked armor Type MC cable with listed fittings.
- Liquidtight flexible metal conduit with listed fittings.
- Liquidtight flexible nonmetallic conduit with listed fittings.
- Flexible cord listed for extra-hard usage and terminated with listed fittings. A conductor for use as an equipment grounding conductor shall be included in the flexible cord.
- For elevator use, an identified elevator cable of Type EO, ETP, or ETT, shown under the "use" column in Table 400.4 for "hazardous (classified) locations" and terminated with listed fittings.
(3) Nonincendive Field Wiring
Nonincendive field wiring shall be permitted using any of the wiring methods permitted for unclassified locations. Nonincendive field wiring systems shall be installed in accordance with the control drawing(s). Simple apparatus, not shown on the control drawing, shall be permitted in a nonincendive field wiring circuit, provided the simple apparatus does not interconnect the nonincendive field wiring circuit to any other circuit.
Informational Note: Simple apparatus is defined in Article 100 Part III.
Separate nonincendive field wiring circuits shall be installed in accordance with one of the following:
(4) Boxes and Fittings
Boxes and fittings shall not be required to be explosionproof except as required by 501.105(B)(2), 501.115(B)(1), and 501.150(B)(1).
