Hi, first time on the site! I have never been failed for having a mc 90 in a wall until recently. My permit is in the 2011 code cycle. I know that article 348 for FMC says that any angle fitting is required to be accessible. Article 330 for mc does not mention anything in that article about angle fitting or accessibility as it does in 348. My inspector quotes 300.15. The sub part ( Fittings ). This subpart says that fittings have to be accessible. The definition of fitting in article 100 basically states that a fitting is more of a mechanical means of connection and not a electrical connection. It also states that it is made up of a connector, lock nut etc. Assuming the definition of fitting, any connector straight or 90 degree may be classified as a fitting. My understanding was always that when using flex, 90's had to be accessible because you may need to re pull wire through them. MC is a cable and not a conduit and is understood that you would never re pull wire through a cable. So. With that in mind and how the code should be interpreted, is it legal to use a MC 90 degree fitting with it not having to be accessible? Any thoughts or interpretations of the code would be greatly appreciated! Not sure if this is worth going to battle over but just want to know everyone's thought on this.
Thanks!
Thanks!
