I recently had an issue in finding a product that would truly meet the requirements of the NEC. I think most who visit the MH forum are looking for solutions to not easily solved problems. A thread was available in this forum on precisely my subject but I was unable to get the "answer" I needed. The comments and information in the discussion led me to digging into other places. This eventually enabled me to find the exact fix for this particular problem completely meeting the code requirements I needed.

This gave me reason enough to become a member and join the MH Forum as I visit on a fairly regular basis. I had found a solution to a problem that I am positive is run into by others and thought it very necessary to share that information. There is no doubt that others will search for this again as I had and it is not uncommon to come across decades old discussions that may still have relevance to any current issue.

This post is to very humbly ask our moderators to consider allowing older discussions to continue to be commented on before closing them.
 
You are welcome to copy some of the posts or create a new discussion on the topic with a link to the old thread. As it stands now we have a 1 year time limit on active threads.

If we leave the threads open then people would come in and start asking the op about something but that member may long be gone. It happens all too often
 
We have agreed on a one year dormancy period for old threads. It was at one time even shorter. As Dennis stated you can just copy and paste parts of the old thread into a new one. That will keep everything fresh and up to date.
 
And in this particular case the OP in that thread has not logged back in since Aug of 2019
