[ivsenroute]

There is a section of the NEC on this installation too:
Same crawlspace as the water heater in another thread

I believe that type of gas line has to be bonded. What else am i missing?

Romex stapled to the bottom of the floor joist?

 

[jwjrw]

Romex can be stapled to bottom of stud if it isnt within 6ft of access. Anybody else?

That depends on your Code Cycle, and your location... NC ameneded that one article, I don't know of other states that now don't drill... :grin:

They make right angle valve's, It looks Sad, Maybe more of the signage required, he could have tucked it up and flagged it better.

I just assumed it was like an unfinished basement, thanks

 

[jwjrw]

Im in NC and I wasnt sure if it was took out of the nec or we just didnt adopt it.

Does the PVC conduit need to be strapped every three feet?

So was I right in saying it can't be stapled to the bottom of the joist just like in unfinished basement?

yes. if the work is under the '08 Code and there have been no local changes.

 

[GMc]

yes.
334.15(C)

Thanks for confirming that. I had to run out and grab my code book. I thought for sure I was right

Can you site the code for 6ft only attic openings? In NC we have to follow it near any opening. It dosent show up as a local code on my list.

I think 334.23 sends you to 320.23 look there.

Minor violation.

330.23 is for mc cable. We have to drill out attic and crawl openings within 6ft for cables smaller than #6. Is this a nec code? I'm having trouble finding it but they make us do it. I'll have to ask for a code ref next time.

I'm more surprised to find that an inspector went into the crawl space.:roll:

I think is should be 320.23

Did you look at 334.23?
