I received a phone call from an inspector in our area today.
Let me say that in our area, we are referencing the 2002 -for residential, and 2005 for other than residential.
He stated the GFCI receptacles being purchased now state not to be used in wet locations as per the 2008 NEC.
Since we are not referencing the 2008 NEC, I told him that there is no requirement for GFCIs to be listed as weather resistant, and the EC can use these in a bell box with an inuse cover located outside.
Does anyone else see this issue popping up in their jurisdiction?
