Hello Brent, what is his reason? It sounds as though he's mad because these weren't available when he was contracting, and he doesn't like you having it easier than he did. ;)

These particular brackets are UL listed, so he can not use that.

Just curious, would a mounting bracket have to even be listed to support a box to a stud?

Hello brent25, I am one of the old timers, but always looking for better equipment to work with.The Caddy bracket is an excellent piece of equipment.
We are not going to solve your problem. Talking to the AHJ is the only way and you may be able to convince him to allow you to use them.
I would be interested in knowing why he turns them down. Follow-up with this, and please let us know how you make out. Good-Luck.

These are cool. Certainly beats some floppy old multigang box. I agree with Roger. Ask your inspector to get the knot out of his panties.

Edit: fixed image.

no, they would not have to be listed IMO but if they are, (as these are) it is simply a plus.

it may be because you spent or spend way to much time ogling over your math teacher.

Re: caddy rbs16

he simply sited that in florida they are trying to get away from using those brackets because if a remodel needs to be done changing a single gang box to a two gang box (just the mudring) the box would fall back into the wall.

i can understand this if it were MC or Flex but in this application it is hard piped.

doesnt make much sense to me either...

my super gave him one to take to his monday inspector meeting to go over if were allowed to use it or not so ill keep you all updated.

the brackets are excellent to work with and worth every penny imo.

thanks for the replies i had the same feeling as most of you.

So what does he suggest you do to protect the electrical system in the event the building must be torn down?

Re: caddy rbs16

Inspecting for "what if" kills me.
What if someone adds conductors...
What if someone alters the equipment...
What if someone installs a larger circuit breaker...
what if, what if, what if, what if, what if, what if, if, if, if, if, if, ............... :eek:

A lot of California neighborhoods have some tall trees too.

Edit: What's that, an extention cord? :D

I'll never know how you inspectors seem to find out about every little code violation of mine.

Edit: I inserted Larry's telephoto evidence.
