I used to ask my ( old) boss about if neatness matters because I have seen what looks like art and I have seen horror shows that pass inspection…..my boss answered that yes, it matters, to the two most important people…….you and me

Inspectors are about code that’s all. Professional standards is not code however it’s good practice. If an install is code compliant then it should pass. Workmanlike manner is very opinionated and hard to enforce. Some states it’s not allowed to be enforced by statue’s. Code and inspectors is bare minimum with exception of an local general code. Follow the NEC (the state is currently on) and professional standards generally in your area and the only thing you’ll ever fail are the local codes that you happen to not know about. Don’t matter where you are at.

110.12 is code for basically clean and professional manner usually doesn’t get called , not usually garbage to look at but inspector can call it and is very discretionary

Hi, I was wondering how many holes can you make in the top plate for wires going to the main panel. I didn't find much in the electrical code book accept they should be at least 1 1/4" from side of the stud.

You can’t double up wires on studs? How do you guys wire stuff in a 2x4 wall?

I want to upgrade my panel from 100amp to 200amp. I have an old box and not only am I upgrading box but the amps. My question is will the inspector come in the house to test all the outlets or report me to the county for any other building code violations. Its a 100 year old house. Im just wondering if they would do that? Thank you

Very interesting, just out of curiosity, what part of the country are you in? Not judging but we terminate at the outlet a little different in Aspen Colorado, still very interesting.

Is that junction box installed low enough in that room above the door rough in? ruel of thumb is from the ceiling 4" minimum down FROM the top of the installed smoke detector and no more than 12" down from the bottom of the installed smoke detector.

@conquerallelectrical Жыл бұрын

Here in Nova Scotia smoke detectors must be on the ceiling or a maximum of within 1 foot or less to the ceiling if mounted on the wall.

@ramirez7852 Жыл бұрын

The minimum is 4" of the wall because is always air in those corners
