No you mean all grounds "should" be made prior to a rough-in inspection. As a number of people have pointed out the NEC doesn't say that it has to be that way. I'm slowly but surely learning to read the intire thread first before posting so as to not repeat what others have already said or to contradict what the popular (hence most likely correct) replies are.William1978 said:
No, but it makes sense, since the next time the inspector will the the job is after trim-out. I'd rather make up the EGC's now than have to remove any fixtures or devices and plates for them to be checked later.steelersman said:

Yeah, but some people add onto existing threads without reading them through first. :wink:steelersman said:Yes Larry exactly what I was saying and everyone has pretty much been saying and even what you had already said earlier.
No, I meant exactly what I said. If you call for a rough inspection and the grounds are not made up the rough inspection will be failed.steelersman said:No you mean all grounds "should" be made prior to a rough-in inspection.

Maybe in your area but not for every area. Where in the code does it say that?William1978 said:
Point is that what you said isn't true everywhere. IMO it should be. I think only an idiot would choose to not make the grounds and all other splices up in the rough in.William1978 said:
It doesn't.steelersman said:

right. And just have some have said, some areas are ok with you doing the grounds in the final. I wouldn't do it but.....I all I was saying is that it's not an actual fact that you have to or else you will fail.LarryFine said:

Look I know you love trying to pick apart or find something wrong with alot that I say but the point is that William1978 said it as a blanket statement which would mean that it's universal everywhere so if I have to say it again then fine. I would never wait till the final to make up my grounds and other splices even if the inspector was ok with that because for one it's harder to do later rather than in the rough in.iwire said:

Did you not read my first post? I said All grounds would have to be made up here before you would get an rough inspection. Around here joints are required to be made before someone would call for a rough inspection. I'm not sure how it is else where luckly I have never had to work more than 20 miles from the house knock on wood.steelersman said:Look I know you love trying to pick apart or find something wrong with alot that I say but the point is that William1978 said it as a blanket statement which would mean that it's universal everywhere so if I have to say it again then fine.

yes I read your first post. I was saying that it may not be true everywhere that you HAVE to make up the grounds in order to get the rough. You were saying it as if it were universally true everywhere, that's all.William1978 said:Did you not read my first post?
