330.30(d)2

Am I reading this right? I can run a 6' MC whip to a fixture with nothing more than snap-in connectors on the ends and be legal?

I'm so used to strapping within 12" that when I actually read the NEC article it caught me off guard....:roll:

thats the way I read it.... in an accessible ceiling (you will find similar wording for AC, FMC, etc)

What's throwing me off is the fact we're talking about supporting and not securing?

Am I only satisfying the support requirements but not the securing requirements required by 330.30(B)?

I'm confused to say the least.

...your reading to much into it. You read it correctly concerning 330.30 (D)(2). The light or equipment must be above an accessible ceiling for 330.30 d2 to apply
