If you want to discuss electrical on reddit then stay on reddit. There is no sense clogging up this forum with what goes on there.

I will isolate the picture in question. However, I wanted to give the author credit instead of presenting this picture without citation or context.



I know the humor and behavior is going south on r/electrician, however bear in mind I have no control over that.

So what's the problem? Compression fittings would not be any better. This topic has been beat to death here and should be treated like ground up ground down threads.

This should be PVC, or simply not caulked at all.

The set screw is the conductor in this case.

Understood, but grounding and bonding would apply to this forum as well.
