I agree with Dennis - overkill for what we're talking about.

Are we allowed to use multiple reducing washers? example: Need to get from 2" to 1/2" and all I have is 2" to 1 1/4 washers , and 1 1/4 to 1/2" washers...

Always buy the ones that reduce to 1/2. You can always punch'em bigger, but you can't punch'em smaller ;->

So, if the proper fitting is not quickly available or costs more than the budget permits, you're allowed to just cobble something together? :-?

In my opinion.....Yea....As far as closing un-used openings.
110.12(A) is not really that restrictive.

Marc,

I don't see how the commonly used push in KO closer meets the following rule.

(A) Unused Openings Unused cable or raceway openings in boxes, raceways, auxiliary gutters, cabinets, cutout boxes, meter socket enclosures, equipment cases, or housings shall be effectively closed to afford protection substantially equivalent to the wall of the equipment. Where metallic plugs or plates are used with nonmetallic enclosures, they shall be recessed at least 6 mm ( 1/ 4 in.) from the outer surface of the enclosure.
