I have TJI joisted intalled that I need to run some electrical wires through.

Question 1# The knockouts in parallel joists don't line up. Will wires that zigzag slightly, instead of being straight, pass code?

Question 2# How many wires can I run through the knockouts and along the same paths? Such as, can 3 12-2s go through the same series of knockouts?

Thanks,

Zack

There should be no code problem with zigzaging the cable. You will use more wire that way and there may be workmanship issues.

The knockout holes are 1 to 1.25 in diameter which can easily accommodate 3-4 cables.
