Weatherproof wirenuts question

[zappy]

I've never been called by a inspector for using regular wirenuts on exterior light fixtures. But I was wondering is there any codes saying you should? What about landscape lighting in a above ground post? I've only used them in kristy boxes.

The requirement for connections in underground installations is in 300.5(B).

What's a kristy box?

Why would an inspector cite somebody for using a regular wireneut in an outside light fixture?

Which one? Seriously I can probably guess where this will go and I'm sure you can too.

Doesn't the question depend on whether the Christy is submerged or not? rbj

No, see the section Rob posted.

Ok I see. It's like "Bell box" or "Romex" or "Kleenex".

So does anyone want to address the actual question that the op asked?

Up, light almond, Siemens, GMC, RedWings, always pull an EGC even in empty conduits, count clamps that are removed, count fixture straps that contain fixtures and always ..... always bond around each plumbing fitting.

Maybe you should read the question.

I did, maybe you can show an NEC requirement that does not exist.:grin:
