My question pertains to 250.86 exception 2
What qualifies as a short section? I can't find anywhere in the 2008 code where it is defined. IMHO I say it is any conduit shorter then 10' as that is the standard size and anything else would be a short section of the original. My co workers have chimed in with sizes rangeing from 3' out to 10'. What say you.
