I'll get a picture of this tonight, but I was doing a rough-in at my church yesterday and saw a recent A/C unit (Mitsubishi package unit) install. At both ends of the MC Cable it was just stuffed into a raceway as follows:
1) At the panel, it was shoved into a 5' section of EMT that brought it from above the ceiling into the panelboard (no fitting). Didn't even ream the end of the EMT.
2) At the disconnect it was shoved into a section of Sealtite to cover the outdoor portion.
This certainly violates 300.12: "Metal or nonmetallic raceways, cable armors, and cable sheaths shall be continuous between cabinets, boxes, fittings, or other enclosures or outlets."
Any others.
Since this is my church, I'll be taking this up with the installer and would like all the ammo I can get.
Thanks,
Mark
