FMC Unsupported

[Quien Magsombol]

Please clarify if it is to code (or maybe exempted from the code) not to support FMC from a drop-in light fixture to a terminal box not exceeding 6ft.

Yes it is allowed, see the exceptions to 348.30(A)

Exception No. 3: Lengths not exceeding 1.8 m (6 ft) from a luminaire terminal connection for tap connections to luminaires as permitted in 410.117(C).

Quien, Welcome to the forum! :smile:

Pay attention to which end of the spiral is on the outside, and place it in the upper connector.

Good tip Larry unless you use the screw in connectors. If I had a nickel for every flex whip I have seen unraveled at a j-box in a ceiling. I'd have to spend the rest of my life counting nickels.

you've never heard of ceiling monkeys? They look a lot like trunk monkeys only they hide when you pop a tile out.
