I think Iwire is correct in his interpetatin of the code. I also think that it should be rewritten to eliminate the "wiggle Room" currently allowed. I would think that a disconnect prior to the entrance of conductors into the building would be a safer way to do the install. I think it should be required.
Unfortunately, while the electrician will decide the "wiggle Room" issue on the side of safety, the builder will use it to cheapen the installation, "as long as we can get it to pass the inspector".
If you could eliminate the grey area. it would help to keep the builders honest.
What do builders have to do with anyting? Do you let them dictate how or when you follw the code?
If a disconnect is "safer" show us the proof to back it up.
