I was short on outlets in the basement and didn't want to run wire from the light fixtures and/or existing outlets.
So I mounted an outlet on the side of the furnace cabinet, ran 14AWG MC from the service switch of the furnace across the inside of the furnace through an existing manufacturer hole in the furnace cabinet into the back of a 2x4 outlet box and installed a single duplex outlet on the outside of the furnace cabinet.
I made sure to keep the run away from any heat and/or gas lines and made the outlet non-switch by tapping into the line side of the service switch.
Now I'm wondering if I violated code.
