If I might be so bold, the reason it was allowed is either because the inspector is blind or there is nothing dangerous about it.
Now we can let the lashings begin.
Statements like that make me want to ignore your posts, it makes you sound already set in your ways and not willing to look at things with an open mind.
And statements like that make think that you are the taskmaster dishing out the first lashes:smile:
I think he is spot on ,..either blind or taking too many liberties with the authority he thinks he has ..it happens all the time,.. it should not but it does ..
I am not following you, I was not talking about the inspector at all..
It was a general statement about Sam's continuing statements in many threads that seem to say that only the codes that are truly needed should be followed
Take a look at the ROP and ROC for the history of some of the code rules. Except for some of the ones that the strong arm of the manufacturers or the perceived safety of some change, the rules are all there for a solid reason. It is only with the proper substantiation that these rules get into the code.. . . It is a shame that there is more and more code written that is perceived as not truly needed. . .
Sam, it really should have nothing to do with the danger factor. If it is not dangerous (and I am not saying it is) then the codes or rules should be changed. Until such time as the rules are changed the rules should be enforced.
The OP lost his chance to do this work because he priced it, and proposed doing it in a code compliant way. Instead the job went to a guy that violated at least 110.26. That is unfair and the local inspection dept should not allow that to happen.

My beef is with ECs (and not just Sam :smile that appear to feel that some rules are silly and should be ignored at will. That said, maybe I have misunderstood Sam.
