Failed inspection

[wwhitney]

I can't figure out what other purpose 440.8 could serve other than allowing a single disconnect for something like a split system. However, when I look at 440.14 - "Disconnecting means shall be located within sight from and readily accessible from the AC or Refrig. equipment...", it doesn't seem to allow one disconnect to serve multiple pieces of equipment if they are remotely located.

The last sentence of 440.8 is very explicit and more specific, so I would say it controls. 440.14 just means the disconnect for the A/C equipment has to be within sight of one of the multiple motors.
