I wired some air handlers in a attic and got red tagged for placing non fused pull out, inside of the unit. Inspector wanted disconnect on outside , ive done this many times before with no problems. My boss didnt give code ref. just said it was new building code or something. I cant find anything that would prohibit this other than some clearance issues in art 110 maybe. Just want to clarify this for my own good thanks!
 
440.14 Location. Disconnecting means shall be located
within sight from and readily accessible from the air-
conditioning or refrigerating equipment. The disconnecting
means shall be permitted to be installed on or within the
air-conditioning or refrigerating equipment.

....(remainder omitted for brevity)

Even with this in mind, other building codes (or local amendments hereto) may supercede this section.
