Wire along crawl space concrete foundation wall?
I need to run some water heater wire along a short section of concrete foundation wall before it goes along some joists and then wall studs.
I keep seeing code about protecting the wire in unfinished basements but how do I do this? I don't really want to run metal cased wire all the way to the panel just due to a short concrete section.

I don't think protection is needed in a crawl space.
If you feel you need protection a board beside the cable will be fine. If something bashes into the wall the board will protect the cable from being crushed.
