It doesn't matter that the NEC is the law, because the interpretation of that law is what counts. 90.4.

How can one comply with the support requirement in "358.30(B)" if the EMT is not run through framing members? It would seem to me that if "358.30(A)" AND "358.30(B)" must be met, and "358.30(A)" is just about "securing" and "358.30(B)" is just about "support", then the only "permitted" support is through framing members and no other installation would be allowed by code (unless "short" accordance with "358.30(C)")? I'm usually a "letter of the code" kind of guy, but I'm inclined to think that there is something more going on here than exactly what the words would seem to say. I tend to agree that "358.30(B)" is most likely intended as an exception to the securing requirements of "358.30(A)". I also think that this thread alone would be ample justification for having clarifying modifications to be made to the code, regardless of the intent.

Retired huh, just look at how much time you'll have to deal with it,
You completely hanging up your tools or keeping a sideline business for ..... whatever funds?

Will only be doing work for myself and a few friends. Own a night club so really no need for money from electrical. Still love the trade but time to relax.
