Today my boss tripped out today not because the transformer, breaker panels, heat lamp and GFCI breaker wasn’t working (which they were) but because the EMT and round box for the heat lamp was supported to the metal shed roof.
Without checking the book I believe the NEC code requires EMT to be supported and secured within every 10 feet and every 3 feet of termination such as to the round box to the heat lamp as pictured
My boss said the holes in the roof would allow water to enter the shed although the self tappers I used had rubber seals and were listed as water tight
He made me disconnect the EMT run and caulk the holes
Do you think my approach was ok?
