got it iwire. sorry, i posted before i saw your response.
I'm not necessarily disagreeing, just trying to follow along.
From the 2011 NEC: "110.3(B) Installation and Use. Listed or labeled equipment shall be installed and used in accordance with any instructions included in the listing or labeling."
What instructions does the plug strip need to have to make it not comply with the NEC?
Somewhere awhile back I think someone said the violation was because this the ground wire went through two plugs back to the receptacle in the wall. The example they used was that if was a violation to plug two extension cords together to make a longer run, and they were considering the plug strip as the 2nd extension cord.
Thanks in advance for any replies.
