test question
test question
Lets say you had a diagram on a test and they showed two j-boxes in between them it had a conduit with four 90's and at each box it had a box offset. Would you say that that meets code. Asking this because this was one of my test question.

How many of the inspectors here have red tagged installations where a box offset bumped the total bends past the 360 degree mark?

If on a test thats an easy answer NO But on a job few will tag it.

I'm not going to publicly post that I purposefully skip enforcing certain code requirements but there’s also no question that inspectors that robotically enforce code requirements without any attempt to apply logic are not considered very good inspectors by both contractors and their fellow inspectors.
The 360? limit addresses wire pulling without damaging the wire. . Slight 10? offsets and 150 foot “sprung” 90?s don’t have the same effect on wire pulling as other bends, but there’s no way to grade the resistance of wire-pulling by some sort of resistance factor for any given bend, so the 360? is the only workable option.
All I’ll say is that logic can be used for a given job.
