You need to get the most handy cut and paste CD-ROM.

So if it were NOT going to be inspected it wouldn't matter? :-?

Can we just add "ground in emt or no ground in emt" to that list that includes "ground up/ground down"??? Someone add 358.60 to the FAQ so we can stop having this same discussion!

I guess that means I have "low standards". In fact, the NEC must have "low standards" too.
