Plaster Ring

Most P rings you can't get at the mounting screws with the drywall up.

Exactly the p ring has to go on before drywall or the the drywall guys will just be back to patch around every box with a p ring lol

I hated that and tried to change it when I became an inspector. Got vetoed.

I’m not a fan either and inspectors are usually pretty pissed if one side is boarded without their permission

Around here they can’t close up the walls until the in wall inspection has been done , if there’s two sides to a wall they can board one side before the in wall rough but not

In the scenario I mentioned there are no rough inspections. Typically the carpenter is waiting with a pile of sheetrock and for the stub ups to go in. Depending on the electrical layout they may rock one side of the wall before the sparky gets there.

They can board one side of the wall here before we start as well , but if we have something in a wall can’t close it until there’s been an in wall rough . The inspector wasn’t to see we comply with the requiremts of 358.30

So you Guys always wait til drywall is install to pull the wire ?

Avoids having to deal with drywall mud on the conductors.

The order is: mount boxes
run emt
pull wire
ring boxes
trim out boxes after drywall is installed
