That's true, 406.3(D)(3) (b) and (c).

Edit to add: I agree with Bob, there is no NEC requirement for a GFCI sticker on receptacles not installed under the provisions of 406.3(D)(3).

dont forget if you use a receptacle with gfci protection you need to use the sticker on the loadside of gfci

That is one of the most ridiculous requirements I have ever heard of [406.3(D)(3); et al].

NOW thats a beer, you sure put corona into perspective,small and weak by comparison. My question is Pale Ale or stout?

It's a Shiner Bock clone, so the answer is "neither".

I have the Corona bottles because they are pop-tops, not twist-offs, so I'm able to refill them and give them away to friends, take them to parties and forget about them, or whatever.

That bottle I refilled and recapped myself. To sterilize the bottles (since I have no clue who drank from them or what bugs might still be on them ...) I bake them in the oven at about 250F for 20 minutes, then cool them down in boiling water. Once they've cooled off in boiling water, I remove and let them air dry, which takes less than a minute :)

I've seen this written several times, but I don't fully understand the implications of it.

What the heck does it mean and is it a bad thing?

Ah, I Had a few 6 packs of double bock from Germany about 7 years ago and that was some good beer.

Code allows you to replace old two wire receptaces with three wire receptacles as long as they are GFI protected, but you must label the receptacles as having NO Equipment Ground....
 
This has come up several times in the past.Our inspectors require gfci protected stickers on receptacles on the load side of a device.This is on non energized circuits,since a meter can only be set after the final inspection.So the inspector can`t verify if a circuit is actually gfci protected,but all they want is a sticker that says gfci protected.I`m not advocating this but this is how it is.I know other places require that the circuit be energized and the inspector check for gfci compliance but here,if the receptacle has a sticker then it passes.If no sticker it fails the inspection.All our finals are done without power on.
 
Allen, I must admit, this seems strange to me. How can the inspector "inspect" things with no power? Especially gfcis? That always seems to be one thing inspectors are real sticklers on. Do you go back later and check everything?
 
Life is differant here.A few stickers makes the inspector happy.They seldom have power on with a final.Hot checks are from t pole or gen.Some wait till meter is set to do hot checks.Thats a bad time to find problems.Average home gets final in less than 10 minutes.
