Inspector is requiring pigtails on receptacles with EMT. Did code change, rest of receptacle in house don't have them.

Perhaps its a local code.NEC does not require unless its a shared neutral .I always pig tail anyways.Ask him to site the code #

The code only requires "pig-tails" in order to comply with 300.13(B). It has nothing to do with the wiring method/raceway used.

As stated pigtails are required for the neutral of a MWBC and of course the EGC if there is one.

sduquenne,
Are you asking about a pigtail for the equipment ground? If so are you using self grounding receptacles? If you are installing a receptacle in a recessed box, you are required to use a jumper or a self grounding receptacle per 250.146.
