If I remember correctly werent you the one pushing the insistance of mc is acceptable in a plastic box or was that my imagination??? Cows have good ears.

And that has what connection to this thread?

In our 'plastic box and MC' thread the product was MC not MCAP.

Where does it say that the aluminum "ground" wire is suitable for termination?

I have found nothing supporting that statement on the IAEI or Southwire websites.

Pete I have read that as well, you can terminate it.

I believe it.

As I've said all along, I still can't comprehend why anyone would torture themselves trying to terminate it, but I guess that's just me. :roll:

MCAP cable must be used with UL Listed fittings designed to accomodate the cable. As far as I know, there are no MCAP cable fittings made for ENT or PVC systems. So, transitioning from MCAP to anything plastic should be done in a metal J/B and with approved MCAP metal fittings. When used this way, the AL EGC would be trimmed flush with the MCAP sheath as per the mfr's instructions. Then copper EGC and appropriate conductors should be fished from the metal J/B down the ENT into the plastic box.
