read the whole thing in context then, rather than skimming and taking bits and bits to chop an make comments on then roger.

JB, Roger is one of the sharpest members of this board. You can rest assured that he has not missed a single thing you have said. And he is correct.

Jb, lighten up, are your panties in a wedgy? As Peter said, I understood everything you said and I didn't take anything out of context, I took it as you typed it.

I dont understand it any more than the code, but at least it's funny.

That is what I am saying.

But I cant find the part where, and i think it is there, that the connection has to remain accessable.

If you stip NM then you have 90deg c thhn.

The reference to protection the cable where it entered a raceway was found in 300.15(C) of the 2002 cycle.

(C) Protection. A box or conduit body shall not be required where cables enter or exit from conduit or tubing that is used to provide cable support or protection against physical damage. A fitting shall be provided on the end(s) of the conduit or tubing to protect the cable from abrasion.

The last sentence was added to 334.15 in the 2005 cycle that clears up the use of a bushing for the installation of NM cable in a raceway in a basement.

334.15(C) In Unfinished Basements. Where cable is run at angles with joists in unfinished basements, it shall be permissible to secure cables not smaller than two 6 AWG or three 8 AWG conductors directly to the lower edges of the joists. Smaller cables shall be run either through bored holes in joists or on running boards. NM cable used on a wall of an unfinished basement shall be permitted to be installed in a listed conduit or tubing. Conduit or tubing shall utilize a nonmetallic bushing or adapter at the point the cable enters the raceway. Metal conduit and tubings and metal outlet boxes shall be grounded.

334.112 states that the insulation of NM cable shall be rated at 90 degrees. Nowhere does it state that the conductors are THHN or any other insulation type for that matter. The FPN found at 334.112 tells us that the letter -B- is what will identify the 90 degree conductors.

That's the spirit!

Don't forget your towel.

Re: 1/2" emt connector

Sometimes when I am in a bind I use one of those white poly conduit caps which meets 2002 NEC code requirements for 300-15(c) But I much rather run into a small single gang box and run my connections to that position. Sometimes its just too tight of a squeeze though and a box is not practical.

Sometimes you go with what you have laying around

How aboot the new Space Saver EMT connector and a romex connector. This eliminates the rigid coupling.
