  2. If that is a header or beam in the photo it should have joist hangers attached.
  3. Back flow prevention.
  4. http://forums.mikeholt.com/showthread.php?t=173784 Are any of you folks considering getting off the arc fault bandwagon?
  5. 1" FMC is allowed up to 24 #12 or 33 #14. Derating is another subject.
  6. USE is NOT code compliant for interior wiring. 338.12(B)(1)
  7. Seems to me a responsible report would be "unknown", not just a guess.
  8. Indiana has exempted the use of AFCI's and TR recaps.
  9. As you know, ALL bathroom receps must be GFCI protected.
  10. Can not be within the foot print of the tub. The question is whether or not the deck in which the tub is mounted qualifies as part of the footprint. 2011 NEC 406.9©
  11. I dunno exactly but there's a practice involving metal conduit between meter box and panel: If there are concentric rings left on either the meter box or panel enclosure after installing the conduit, a bonding wire must be run through the conduit from meter box to a grounding/locking bushing on the panel side I guess because the remaining concentric rings are easily damaged and are therefore not a reliable bonding connection. I disagree, although I always include an EGC within metallic raceways. Marc

Marc That's basically it, but it only applies to the connection at the service panel. As far as I know, you don't have to worry about it after that. ...so the knockouts, isolated so much by their nearly all around cuts, don't have enough area in common with the box to make a bond. BTW what happened to the red wire feeding the sub? I only see black ones coming in there, with one taped white. There is no red conductor for the feed. There ar two blacks, one behind the other. The other arguments throughout the thread about eccentric or concentric knockouts is moot for voltages under 250.
  13. I am curious. Exactly how would you install wyes, ells and tees?[?]
  14. Those are NOT 3 tab shingles.
  15. Personally I'd like to see a photo of the entire enclosure. If that is a service panel/disconnect the SER equipment grounding conductor should be terminated with the neutral.
  16. The pvc terminal adapter should be installed on the electrical enclosure, not to the substrate behind it.
  17. 1000 kw is no small unit. Better have a trailer.
  18. Perfectly acceptable and compliant to put larger conductors on lower ampacity CB's. Usually done for voltage drop considerations.
  19. Is that in the electrical code? 675 IAC 17-1-1.8-13 http://www.in.gov/legislative/iac/T06750/A00170.PDF Thanks. Do you have any idea how they came up with two inches? It doesn't seem to be in the CSST manufacturers' documents. Did they just make it up? I have no idea.

  21. Indiana Code requires that ALL wiring methods maintain a separation of at least 2" from CSST except where the bonding connection is made.
  22. Those are straps to hold the brackets for an antenna mast.
  23. 300.5(D)(1) Thank you.
  24. Y It's a real pain in the butt to run NM cable through a conduit for any distance. You're also likely to damage the cable. If you do that, the NEC requires the conduit to run from 18" below grade to the height of the exposed cable or 8', whichever is less. But that method is really cheezy anyway. Run PVC conduit and pull individual conductors through it. It's a much nicer way to do it and, if you ever need to replace the wires, it'll be a snap. Also, I think you're being penny-wise and pound foolish. Run four wires and make them #10 for future proofing. Even if you never use the extra wire or the extra diameter, you'll enjoy lower voltage drop. Could you please post an NEC article for your 8' interpretation?
