[billsnuff]

Please, make sure you're answer is in the form of a question. :grin:

Low voltage control for the central vac.

No.

Did a service call today, and found this gem in the basement:

If the wire is #12 and the box is 18 cu" then:

NEC 2008 314.16 Number of Conductors in an Outlet, Device, and Junction Boxes, and Conduit Bodies.

Also: T314.16(B) Volume Allowance per Conductor

 

[dwellselectric]

Should be a GFCI?

 

[e57]

Hey - it's that wood plate I have been looking for!!!!!

 

[360Youth]

If the wire is #12 and the box is 18 cu" then:

NEC 2008 314.16 Number of Conductors in an Outlet, Device, and Junction Boxes, and Conduit Bodies.

Also: T314.16(B) Volume Allowance per Conductor

Looks like there is just 2 cables and the NM feeding the bottom box routes around the first.

don't care for the 2 NM's under the staple......JMSO

You'd hate my work, then. :grin:

Edit to add:
Oh, yeah...hard to tell the "big picture" from the close-up pic, but I am not in favor of the NM stapled to the front edge of stud.

The receptacle may not be GFCI protected.

 

[480sparky]

The receptacle may not be GFCI protected.

I ran two bath circuits to the two bathrooms today. House was built in the late 60s, so I bet the two GFIs I put in are the only two in the house.

 

[KentAT]

What is
334.17 Through or Parallel to Framing Menbers, referring also to
300.4 (D) Cables and Raceways Parallel to Framing Members and Furring Strips, Alex?

 

[frizbeedog]

Stapled to the face of the stud!

Or, What is 300.4 (D), Alex?
