Did anyone notice the Home Depot Contractor Services ad in the 12/2008 copy of Electrical Contractor Magazine? Page 33. Sorry I don't have a link and I don't want to scan a copywrited ad.
It's a picture of an open 4S (1900) box with a Home Depot sticker across most of the inside.
The funny thing is the 3 conductors are are cut and spliced about 1-2" from the connectors.
You can see there is not much twist on the splices as the black looks so tight from being short it wants to come out of the nut.
The box has 2 steel connectors with the lock nuts on backwards.
I would say the locknuts look to be loose also.
The set screws on the connectors are turn up and I'm guessing they are loose.
The box is not secured to whatever it is sitting against.
While they had a EG in the pipe and spliced in the box, the EG is not bonded to the box.
Below it they wrote "We put our name behind it all".
And "Come in today and let us rewire the way you think about our Contactor Services".
Then at the bottom they put company names like Klein, Lutron, and Hubbell. Wonder if these companies realize what their names are put on.
I think they would have used a handy box except they needed somthing begger for their sticker.
I should write HD a letter saying they forgot to tape the wire nuts. They should wrap the green around the 8-32 box screw. Also to put a 1 hole strap on each pipe without an offset.
