When I first ran electric to my pole barn a co-worker had some leftover 12/2 MC cable from a job that pretty much allowed me to run all my lights and outlets. Now that I'm older and I dont really do as much side work as I used to I'm starting to want to "clean things up".
My question is, can I pull the conductors from the MC cable and re run them in the PVC conduit? None of them are marked other than the ground. I figure I'm probably answering my own question by saying no but just wondering if its allowed or not. If its not then I'll slowly start changing things over. Also the majority of the walls are studded and finished with 7/16 osb already....

The wire has to be labeled. This is the same reason that you can't strip NM-b and use the conductors loose.

Why pull it all out? Just aesthetics?

I figured as much being as how they aren't labeled. No big deal.
But yeah, pretty much for asthetics. Might do it later on in a couple years. Right now I'm planning on running some copper pipe to an air reel above my lift so I can stop tripping over the line that constantly lays on the floor.
