I have an inspector really giving me a hard time about strapping romex. The issue is that I used 1 hole straps, anywhere from an MC strap to 1/2" emt strap to secure some romex running down a narrow channel, no other means is available (staples, CJs, stakits, etc.), doesn't work. Personally I've used one hole straps to secure romex for as long as I can remember and never had a problem, I cited 334.80 where it states specifcally straps in the paragraph and he still rejects it without any fact based code or literature. His solution is to rip down a wall (this is a remodel) just so I can get a different type of strap. I strongly believe I'm right, anyone know why straps would be unacceptable?
