tamper resistant plugmold

[electricalperson]

i need some tamper resistant plugmold. the customer wants a strip of receptacles right under the cabinet and tonight i just learned that every new receptacle we add or replace needs to be the tamper resistant kind. anyone know of any companies that sell it?

I think ElectricmanScott just ran into this very problem and didn't find any that is available.

This is sad! Right when they finally started making some nice looking plug- mold, we can't even use it anymore!

Which states have actually adopted 2008? I'm signed up to some email notification of code alerts and only saw
1 or 2 states adopt it so far...

Any amendments? and who else? Is there an easier way to see what states are using?

[edit] sorry about hijacking the thread.

I can't believe that Wiremold dropped the ball like that. They're usually pretty quick with innovation.

I wonder why? And how are most people finding out when their state is adopting a new code or making an amedment? I live in Connecticut and the state website only lists 2005 amendments... very far behind...

i think its because the NFPA is based in quincy massachusetts if im not mistaken. a lot of mass codes have become national codes in past cycles

i agree 100000000% with the use of tamper resistant receptacles. i just wish wiremold and task lighting came out with a design for plugmold. basically its telling us that we cant install plugmold in houses anymore unless they come up with a design.
