Ty Wraps

[nyhockey]

210.4(D) Grouping. The ungroinded and neutral conductors of a multiwire branch circuit shall be grouped together in at least one location by wire ties or similar means at the point of origination.

Whatever branch circuit the neutral went to we would tag it now we have to ty wrap the thing.

At this rate I'm never gonna finish reading the changes.

Could a tag be considered a similar means?

I think that should be good enough, but I want to know if the guy with the pen thinks the same way :-?

 

[ivsenroute]

As one of the guys with the pen. Yes, not a problem

As of right now the City is saying no, they want a ty wrap. But that might change

I spoke with the Chief Inspector for the City and yes...they want tie wraps, not laundry tags. Black tape is acceptable.

NYC accepts the 2008 cycle in June of this year along with our Ammendments which are released as the Electrical Code of the City of New York 2010 which is good for 3yrs. The city has been moving more in conjuntion with the National. When 2008 came out the city began reviewing it and writing up it's Ammendments, which they've finally finished and they're expecting to be available for download sometime between Feb and March.
