The National Electrical Code requires that non-metallic sheathed cable (one brand is Romex) be protected in areas where it's subject to abuse. Since we're running the cable in the back of cabinets where pots and pans could bump it, we've chosen to be safe and run the cable inside a flexible steel conduit (called "flex"). We'll show you how to cut and install flex and then how to pull the cable through it.

Make sure you can use Romex in your area. In Chicago we have to use conduit. There is an exception: in many cases flex can be used with discrete wires pulled through it (for situations like remodeling recessed cans that can't be installed with conduit). We can't even use prewired like Greenfield.
