Final Inspect

[thawk]

Hello, I recently passed my first inspection on for two small appliane circuits in my home. It's understood that the inspector needs eight inches out of the box for first inspection. On final inspection. Is it neccessary to stuff all that wire in the box or can some be cut away? I can't find anything in the NEC (by the way was borrowed out and not yet returned to me). I would like to cut some away for an easyier fit. Can not get a hold of the inspector to answer my questions.

2002 NEC 300.14
Length of Free Conductors at Outlets, Junctions, and Switch Points.
At least 150 mm (6 in.) of free conductor, measured from the point in the box where it emerges from its raceway or cable sheath, shall be left at each outlet, junction, and switch point for splices or the connection of luminaires (fixtures) or devices. Where the opening to an outlet, junction, or switch point is less than 200 mm (8 in.) in any dimension, each conductor shall be long enough to extend at least 75 mm (3 in.) outside the opening.
