nosaj070 Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Hi all, I'm preparing to sell my home and have the following question. There is an in-ceiling projector screen in a drywall ceiling - it is fully recessed and can be removed with a socket wrench and removing four bolts. Next to the screen in the ceiling is a junction box (which the screen is hardwired to) which is then wired across the ceiling and down to an outlet. I can't find a switch on the outlet and there isn't a locking breaker, is this an issue? How can i ensure it is remedied to be fully in compliant with code? Would adding a switch next to the screen (above the ceiling) accessible once removing the screen be adequate? Thanks, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted June 14, 2016 Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 I don't see a problem with it as long as you're able to maintain a line-of-sight with the disconnect while positioned to remove the cover on the j-box serving the screen apparatus. You have to be able to see that the switch is off as you remove the j-box cover. Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to be able to see that the switch is off as you remove the j-box cover. Marc Isn't he saying that there's no switch? Why not just install a lockout device on the breaker?

My response is poorly worded. I meant to suggest he install a line-of-sight switch. Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
